Book Description
"This intriguing cross-cultural look at the material world examines the day and age of the facsimile: why we copy rather than 'create,' at one level; and at another, what is reality?"-- New York Times
From the Back Cover
This book is a perceptive examination of the relationship between technology and culture. 'The Real Thing' begins with a discussion of Walt Whitman and his world and then expands to a consideration of material culture, photography, and literature, detailing the shift from a nineteenth-century culture of imitation to an early-twentieth-century culture of authenticity.
