Just finished writing last night - McLuhan in an Age of Social Media -
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01711U3GG/ref=nosim/?tag=dexter2a-20

This essay can be considered a new chapter in my book Digital McLuhan,
published in 1999, or before the advent of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and
the social media of our age. Marshall McLuhan's ideas, including hot and
cool, the medium is the message, and the tetrad, are applied to help us
understand selfies, tweeting, iconic television shows such as The Sorpanos
and Mad Men, the Arab Spring, the U.S. Presidential election of 2016, and
the Kindle revolution itself.

spins a fascinating tale ... An intriguing premise with believable
characters and attention to period detail make this an outstanding
choice... Highly recommended." - *Library Journal*, **starred review*
