“In this fascinating and philosophically rich tale, Tresch re-invokes a world in which machines are not unnatural, dead mechanisms but vessels, affordances, ‘organs’ even, of nature’s expansive self-expression. These romantic machines and charismatic technologies could—and still do—draw forth invisible powers within materialities human and not. Tresch’s account of the ‘alchemical conjunction of romanticism and mechanism’ is itself a brilliant admixture of the history of science, nature-philosophy, and political theory. A wonderful and rewarding book.”
