"A brilliant and succinct formulation of Derrida's position on the topics that have most interested him in recent years. This volume will make a wonderful book because of its timeliness: much in this book helps one to understand 9/11 and its aftermaths, though it was written before the event. Paper Machine will serve as an admirable introduction to Derrida's work." -J. Hillis Miller,University of California, Irvine
