In his application of McLuhanesque thought to seminal Canadian science fiction texts and other cultural products, McCutcheon makes a valuable contribution to Canadian studies, especially in the areas of media, film, and genre studies. McCutcheon offers an expert explication/application of McLuhan that contributes to the revival of interest in and understanding of the significance of his work. Picart, Esq., author of Remaking the Frankenstein Myth on Film Ultimately, McCutcheon also argues for the diffusion of this McLuhanite interpretation of technology beyond Canadian borders to become a global and multifarious 'figure of manufactured monstrosity.'
