Ever wondered what effect your iPod will have on posterity? If so, then you may want to check out the Marshall McLuhan Event at Bergamot Books on Feb. 9.

Robert Dobbs, author and McLuhan’s archivist, joined by Gerry Fialka, the producer of Media Ecology Super Sessions (MESS), will spend the evening discussing McLuhan’s ideas and published works, as well as the underlying implication of new technology on daily life. The focus will be on McLuhan’s recent releases from Ginko Press, “Understanding Media-Critical Edition” and “Through Thy Vanishing Point: Space in Poetry and Painting.”

MESS is an organization that provides a forum to examine how the form and content of modern media affects daily life.

The event will be held at 7:30 p.m. at Bergamot Station, building G-5B, 2525 Michigan Ave. Free admission. Free parking. For information, call (310) 306-7330, or log onto www.bergamotstationbooks.com.
