Henning Schmidgen is Professor of Media Studies at Bauhaus-UniversitÄt Weimar and author of Bruno Latour in Pieces: An Intellectual Biography and The Helmholtz Curves: Tracing Lost Time.

"As a scholar of touch and technology but not, it must be said, of media, I was rarely surprised by the historical content or media examples. I was, however, consistently delighted by the deft argumentation, the rather bricolage- like assembly of themes and motifs, and the unexpected but convincing serendipities that connect them across the different media and their practitioners. . . . For the scholar interested in media and technology, this book serves as an entertaining crash course or manifesto in the history of tactile media." - Mark Paterson (Technology and Culture)
