description: Extending the work of Marshall McLuhan, O'Neill (York U., Toronto) frames television as both a prop and an implant. He pays much attention to political economy, body politics, and biotechnology; and exploits the conflict between the capital bodies of TV and the communicative body portrayed in his earlier works. He does not say when the first edition came out, or in what ways he changed it for this revised edition. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
