The Global Village: Transformations in World Life and Media in the 21st Century

Before social media echo chambers and viral misinformation, McLuhan coined the term 'global village'—and this Oxford collection explores how prescient he was. Examining how digital media reshapes politics, culture, and human connection in the 21st century, it's both scholarly and surprisingly accessible. Think of it as the theoretical backbone for understanding our hyper-connected world—from Twitter revolutions to TikTok diplomacy. Perfect for politics students, media theorists, and anyone wanting to grasp why the internet makes us feel simultaneously closer and more divided.
