Essential works? Recommended reading?

I'm reading McLuhan's Mechanical Bride currently, and it's a lot of fun.

Next time pick a compelling related image for your thread and maybe you'll get more attention. Here you go though.

Pierre Bourdieu and Roland Barthes are other great authors.

For specific books: Propaganda by Edward Bernays, The Emancipated Spectator by Jacques Ranciere, and The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord.

Haven't heard of most of these, are you referring to specific books by those authors as well, or just their collected works?

You need to at least know Havelock and Innis, they are direct precursors to the Toronto School.

I only knew Innis. But that's fine, I'm looking for authors I didn't know to read in the first place. The specific books are more important. Please say where to begin with those authors.
