"Speed, the sensation one gets when driving fast, was described by Alduous Huxley as the single new pleasure invented by modernity. The Speed Handbook is a virtuoso exploration of Huxley's claim. . . . [Enda Duffy] describes how speed changed understandings of space, distance, chance, and violence; how the experience of speed was commodified in the dawning era of mass consumption; and how society was incited to abhor slowness and desire speed." He examines how people were trained by new media such as the cinema to see, hear, and sense speed, and how speed, demanded of the efficient assembly-line worker, was given back to that worker was given back to that worker as the chief thrill of leisure. Drawing on novels, news reports, photography, advertising, and much more, Duffy provides a breackneck tour through the cultural dynamics of speed.
