Reviews

"""Bennett explores an essential contradiction about modernism and modernity: that there is often nostalgia for a cultural movement that, by definition, eschews nostalgia. He leans into contemporary debates about whether 'recent past' buildings and other modernist technologies such as the vinyl LP should be preserved and embraced while presenting his arguments in prose that is polished, confident, and a pleasure to read.""--Rachel Weber, author of From Boom to Bubble: How Finance Built the New Chicago"
