About the book
Lewis Mumford offers a comprehensive history of how technology shaped Western civilization. Tracing the evolution from the medieval clock to industrial mechanization, Mumford critically examines how machines transformed not only production but also culture, society, and human experience.
A profound and provocative reflection on the relationship between technology and humanity, revealing that technical progress did not always mean human progress, and raising questions that remain pertinent in the twenty-first century.
