Reviews / Votes

"Centered in Romania, the volume provides a unique commentary on the cultural and social relations of a post-repair society...Recommended." * Choice



"The book's focus on the history and development of motorcycling in Romania makes it a valuable case study. Additionally, the book introduces important general theses about the post-repair period...This study offers an inspiring perspective for thinking about technological development. It encourages us to consider new angles on the impacts of technological changes on society and how they influence it, as convincingly demonstrated in the book (for example, through reflections on gender issues)." * The Journal of Transport History



"A welcome addition to a host of areas of academic study, including, but not limited to the transformation of an analogue to a digital world and how that change has affected economies, social structures, gender relations and concepts of personal identity." * Steven Alford, Nova Southeastern University



"The book draws attention to an overlooked area of mobility studies-repair and maintenance. It inventively demonstrates the social and political dimensions of technology and is especially attentive to gender distinctions and differences." * Suzanne Ferriss, Nova Southeastern University
