Reviews

'This book will be especially valuable to scholars of modernist visual and performing arts, though anyone invested in discourses about modernist machine culture and technology will find much to admire in Pizzi’s book.'
The Modernist Review

'The book contains plenty of fascinating information, and for this reason it will undoubtedly be useful to anybody interested in Futurism and its artistic and ideological attitude to the machine.'
