A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

The older forms of life on this planet might also be replaced by new forms that would accord with our own instructions. By the same means we might program DNA particles so that they would reproduce dinosaurs and other vanishes species of creatures. In short, what we take for granted in a Hollywood movie, that recreates vanished cities and civilizations, may soon be extended from the world of illusion and fantasy to the everyday world.
