The paper discusses some of the key factors that shaped Friedrich Kittler's anglophone reception. Four points are of special importance: the truncated appropriation of Kittler's 'middle period' by American academics; the structural and ideological reasons for the failure of North American German Studies to capitalize on the growing interest in Kittler; the charges of technodeterminism; and Kittler's difficult role in the debate over posthumanism.
