Twenty years ago, my old boss #RudyTambala introduced me to #MarshallMcLuhan via the book on the left. He was a media theorist with lunatic ideas, and died in 1980, almost two decades earlier. But suddenly, his former student #PaulLevinson rolled up with a book showing how McLuhan had grasped our new digital media and communications before we had barely invented it. Incredible. Few books last the ages, and certainly when it comes to technology, but it would not be unreasonable to call #McLuhan a #prophet. #media #culturalstudies

Show #97 was invaded by a large group of #Murican students, and groups of all kinds behave worse than others, so shushing was required. Anyway, some chickened out of this fine show by #MarkRavenhill, #TheCane @royalcourttheatre #theatre #theatreseason2018to2019 #londontheatre

Last month, the publishers announced that this was to be reissued, and gushed about its influence on Huxley and Orwell. Naturally, I couldn’t wait six weeks, so I prised it off the shelf @thelondonlibrary - where it had not been taken out since three years to the day. Someone else had the same idea, and requested it remotely while I was busy and so I was restricted to a month’s loan. It’s not amazing, but the ideas are very interesting, and definitely influential. #WhatNot by #RoseMacaulay #1919 #brainssunday #mindtraining
