I have a copy of this paperback, published in 1967, including
observations by Susan Sontag, Tom Wolfe, George Steiner, plus
responses by and an interview with McLuhan. Good to see the reception
of his work by contemporaries.
Alice's observations re McLuhan are worth considering. He seems to
have been conflicted about the changes he was observing, and that
ambivalence may be part of what Pynchon took away from his work.
