This comic misses some of my favorite details from the book.

The book talks a lot about Marshall McLuhan's quote "the medium is the message" and about how discourse has turned more and more into entertainment. Nixon lost to Kennedy because he was more attractive on television, and people are judged by how they look or behave as opposed to what they say.

More than anything, this book really made me appreciate written discourse.
