Modernism and the Machinery of Madness. Psychosis, Technology, and Narrative Worlds, Hardback/Andrew (University of Illinois) Gaedtke

Modernism and the Machinery of Madness presents the collapse of categorical distinctions between human and machine in modern fiction and memoirs of mental illness. These works respond to nascent fields of neurology and psychiatry that equated the mind with the brain, reducing mentally patients to 'dysfunctioning neurological machinery'.
