Aaron Jaffe, Michael F. Miller, Rodrigo Martini (anthology editors) (2021): Understanding Flusser, Understanding Modernism, Bloomsbury Publishing, bloomsbury.com/understanding-flusser-understanding-modernism

“The contributors to Understanding Flusser, Understanding Modernism engage with the multiplicity of Flusser's thought as they provide a general analysis of his work, engage in comparative readings with other philosophers, and offer expanded conceptualizations of modernism. The final section of the volume includes an extended glossary clarifying the playful terminology used by Flusser, which will be a valuable resource for experts and students alike.” 10
