Nature Review of 'Human-Built World' [PDF]
by Jeremy at 1:14 am EDT, Jun 15, 2004

The book review is on page 2. Ultimately, this reviewer calls the book "rewarding if unsatisfying." But, then, he's British. :)

The visionary contributions of Marshall McLuhan go unremarked.

I'm surprised by this ...

Human-built World is a virtuoso overview of the various relationships between technology, commerce, society, art and the military.

At least one Nature reader ( http://www.lettersfrombabylon.com/2004/05/popular-science.html ) felt that the review was clouded by an attempt to make political statements in the process of discussing the book. I tend to agree.
