The machine was a primary concern for the Italian futurists. A tool in the factory, it was also a social and political agent, an aesthetic emblem and a symbol of past technologies. This groundbreaking book explores the culture of machines in Italian futurism after the First World War, taking in literature, art, photography, music and film.
