Modern man, he says, is a victim of a "radical misinterpretation" of human development. Furthermore, the machine will either turn him into a collectivized, automatic non-person or blow him back to the jungle. The Myth of the Machine is hybrid literature-part history, part anthropology, part poetry. It is a violent, splenetic attack on much that has happened in civilization for the past several millennia, and it occasionally approaches the absurd. But the range...
