Review of 'Age of Earthquakes' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Simple and plain contemporary wisdom with a spray of cynicism. Obviously, one has to be a free thinking spirit in order to get it.

Published 2015 by Penguin Books, Limited.
A highly provocative, mindbending, beautifully designed, and visionary look at the landscape of our rapidly evolving digital era. 50 years after Marshall McLuhan's ground breaking book on the influence of technology on culture in The Medium is the Massage, Basar, Coupland and Obrist extend the analysis to today, touring the world that's redefined by the Internet, decoding and explaining what they call the 'extreme present'.
Simple and plain contemporary wisdom with a spray of cynicism. Obviously, one has to be a free thinking spirit in order to get it.
