Daly considers the way human/machine encounters have been imagined from the 1860s on. He argues that collisions, literal and metaphorical, dramatise the relationship between the individual and the industrial society, and suggests that the pleasures of fictional suspense help people to assimilate the speeding up of everyday life.
