John Wyndham

“Yet we still have countless people who regard men and machinery as separable. They think of the machine as a mere adjunct to life, something which gives faster communication, more production, more entertainment, still failing to see it as one of the great factors in our real lives, and not realizing that our people are as they are because of it. One hears of the Industrial Revolution as though it were a mere phase, finished and done with. It is not, and it shows no sign of ever being completed. And "Industrial Revolution!" — just as though it were like any little turnover of government. the machine came, and life could never be the same again: nor can it be static. But to what further changes is it leading us?”
