2017-12-17: Douglas Coupland and Shumon Basar chat to Jarvis about their book The Age of Earthquakes, co-authored with art curator Hans Ulrich Obrist and graphic designer Wayne Daly. 50 years after The Medium is the Massage, Marshall McLuhan's groundbreaking book on the influence of technology on culture, The Age of Earthquakes extends the analysis to a post-internet society. Jarvis also shares some facts about the winter Roman festival of Saturnalia and its parallels with Christmas; and asks for unconventional songs that get us in the festive mood. Birthdays: Eddie Kendricks, Ray Wilson, Ron Geesin, Erskine Caldwell and John Kennedy Toole.
