Malcolm Gladwell: McLuhan's Hair Apparent #

Malcolm Gladwell is on fire!

Woops. We mean, Malcolm Gladwell is quite successful, thank you very much.

Gladwell, The New Yorker's resident big thinker on smallish subjects, finds himself in the odd position of being on the other end of the microscope in the new issue of Fast Company.

"The Accidental Guru" reports that in addition to his duties at The New Yorker, Gladwell is doing the Marshall McLuhan thing, becoming a guru to marketing, advertising, and business people. He's like a therapist or life coach to late capitalism, which is still very much in crisis.
