"Civilization is entirely the product of phonetic literacy. As it dissolves with the electronic revolution, we rediscover a tribal integral awareness that manifests itself in a complete shift in our sensory lives....This new electronic environment itself constitutes an inner trip, collectively, without benefit of drugs. The impulse to use hallucinogens is a kind of empathy with the electronic environment." - Marshall McLuhan

“There’s an old saying that rich people see their servants as “part of the furniture” and it would seem that Kubrick has taken this phrase and manifested it in the Shining’s visual theme structure. The affluent guests of the Overlook (America) see the hotel servants and workers as objects, existing merely for their own pleasure and comfort. Unknown to them these pieces of furniture are living, breathing people with real emotions and a life of their own. The independent movements of these servants is forever destined to haunt the conscience of their masters, bringing unpleasant disruptions to the illusion of ruling class paradise.”
