Focusing on a set of celebrated technologies, including steam engines, early photography, and mass-scale printing, the author looks at how new conceptions of energy, instrumentality, and association fueled such diverse developments as fantastic literature, popular astronomy, grand opera, positivism, utopian socialism, and the Revolution of 1848.
