Trade Review

Hellebust surveys the USSR's obsessive images involving transformation of humans into metal and machines.... Hellebust's discussion of the 1960s 'scientific-technological revolution' is particularly welcome, since very few Western scholars address this topic....

The volume contains several illustrations and an impressive bibliography and endnotes. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All collections and levels.
