The excellent translation by Geoffrey-Winthrop Young and Michael Wutz is highly readable (no awkward Germanisms) and is preceded by a thorough and incisive introduction. . . . The present volume is Kittler's most accessible work so far, since it is written for expert and general reader alike.--<i>Johns Hopkins University Press</i><br><br>Kittler's broadband scholarly panoptics afford a sublime techno-discursive vista, and in particular a point of lucid observation on the ongoing relativization of literary production.--<i>American Book Review</i><br><br>Kittler's thesis is timely and intriguing. . . . To read this book is to take a wild ride through philosophy, music, the visual arts, popular culture, engineering, psychoanalysis, the history of science, literature, communication studies, film studies, and more. . . . This book belongs on any reading list in media studies, and should be essential for anyone interested in the intersections of comparative literature, literary theory, and media studies. <i>Gramaphone, Film, and Typewriter</i> is a stunning achievement. . . .--<i>The Comparalist</i><br><br>Recommended for graduate collections in media studies, especially those including European scholarship.--<i>Choice</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Friedrich A. Kittler is a professor at the Institute for Aesthetics and Cultural Studies at Humboldt University, Berlin.
