PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE

Exponent of glass architecture Scheerbart embarked upon an attempt to invent a perpetual motion machine. This book is an indefinable blend of diary, diagrams...Shifting from irony toenthusiasm and back, Scheerbart's visions of rising globalisation, ecological deva station, militaristic weapons and the possible end of literature soon lead him to dread succes more than failure. An ode to the fert ility of misery and a battle cry to the imagination against praxis.
