True to its name, this essential tool on the intersection of modernism and technology is an excellent companion for those interested in how innovation touched modernity at all angles. It would be valuable to any modernist scholar due to the prevalence of these techno-cultural novelties at a time when we were being implored to make it new. Moreover, this book would be a valuable starting point for any greenhorned scholar in the field, though to be used as a complementary resource for any particular discussion rather than a stand-alone, which is why each chapter’s bibliography is its own gold mine. [...] Overall, this book is a significant contribution to modernist studies, and should be referenced abundantly whenever discussing this movement.
- Christina Heflin, Université Paris I – Panthéon-Sorbonne, The Modernist Review
Brilliantly organised and imaginatively capacious, this invaluable volume features fortuitous pairings of writer and topic, with experts thinking beyond their previously published work in new and surprising ways. From illumination through transportation to infrastructure, from media theory to materials science, we are revealed a modernism heterochronic, networked, multiply embodied, intermedial.
