"Crossing the gulf between modernism and science fiction, this book teaches us that to live in late modernity is to travel through time at variable speeds, be buffeted by clashing chronologies, and grow aware of history's untaken but possible roads. Among Tung's lessons: if you were to go back in time and knock sci-fi and modernism out of alignment, the cultural present as you know it would cease to exist.-- ""Paul K. Saint-Amour, University of Pennsylvania"" Modernism and Time Machines is a distinguished and exceptional monograph that will inform scholarship on modernism and SF for years to come.--Robert Finnigan ""Fafnir - Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research"" Modernism and Time Machines is packed with insights about time in its many modernist manifestations, working with an archive and reading list that allows for very different kinds of works to reside together. [...] With such a rich diversity of artifacts and a superb command of the critical literature, Tung promotes an argument that ranges widely, attuned to this welter of cultural and aesthetic objects and histories.--Sarah Cole, Columbia University ""Modernism/modernity"" In its wide, polytemporal remit, its interdisciplinarity, and its methodological ease, Modernism and Time Machines is a study that provides exciting new angles for thinking about modernisttemporalities and opens avenues for further scholarship along machinic lines.--Alexander Jones, Trinity College Dublin ""The Modernist Review"""
