Considering how many tricky ethical and legal questions there are with various electronic reproductions, The Culture of the Copy is a timely book. Our fascination with copies, replicas, and reproduction is explored in this unusual and engaging historical and cultural survey. While it isn't solely about electronic copies, the historical review of the technology of reproduction sets our current debates over copyright and intellectual property in the digital age in perspective. In fact, Schwartz suggests that the ethical dilemmas in many fields have become inseparable from our pursuit of copies.

The New York Times Book Review, Francis Kane
If God is in the details, then this book is surely divine or, at least, demonic. Siamese twins and doppelgangers, parrots and apes, decoys and mannequins, robots and clones, impostors and pretenders are but a few of the stops on this dizzying and dazzling tour de force of every conceivable trompe l'oeil ... not every book on popular culture makes for popular reading.... I found this ... at once illuminating and maddening, exciting and tedious, pretentious and forced, brilliant and funny.... Despite these caveats, you still have to admire a book that gets you to see the world anew, again.
