I haven't written a ton of reviews on LT anyway, and even fewer for books that I'm only a couple of pages in. For context: I'm a Gen X brat, latchkey kid, MTV generation, yadda yadda yadda. I lived through the Satanic Panic where even a trademark from Proctor and Gamble supposedly meant 666 if you connected the stars on the thing just so.
I'm also a professional biblical scholar, professor, and writer. So I bristled at the incorrect citation of the Bible on page ix of the Introduction. The page says Ecclesiastes 2:16. It's off by one chapter and one verse (should be Ecclesiastes 1:15). I mean, close enough, right? Well, no, not if you're going to make the claim that there is a s#!t-ton of very specific, very intentionally layered, unquestionably deliberate, subliminal messages running all through advertising and popular culture.
I'm also a little upset to see Marshall McLuhan cited as helping with Whatshisname's prior work.
