[...] both works [including Basso's Marx and Singularity] are exciting and outstanding achievements in academic Marxism, and we should applaud the editors of the Historical Materialism Book Series for making this work available to an English language readership. Christian Lotz, Marx & Philosophy, 9 May 2014
