The concept of a ‘megamachine’ - a closed system operating to a pre-established utilitarian purpose which results in the machinization of humanity – has existed in various forms since late 19th century. This book builds on previous attempts to define and analyse the machine and argues that modern industrial capitalism is at the heart of it.
