Reviews

In engaging, lyrical prose the book demonstrates how repetition has been central to art and literature throughout the ages. Sameness and Repetition re-energises an ancient debate and makes it completely contemporary, drawing effortlessly on examples ranging from the classics to Super Mario and AI-generated images. This book brings together critical theory and literary studies with contemporary digital media studies, enriching both fields. -- Jill Walker Rettberg, Professor of Digital Culture, University of Bergen, Norway
