Nora Alter offers a superb tribute to Harun Farocki's immense impact as a filmmaker, media theorist, and digital artist. The author, who was part of Farocki's circle in Berlin, combines a compelling intellectual biography with an incisive analysis of his multifaceted work. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Farocki's legacy. -- Anton Kaes, author of <i>Shell Shock Cinema: Weimar Culture and the Wounds of War</i>
