This 50th anniversary edition of Men, Machines, and Modern Times, though ultimately concerned with a positive alternative to an Orwellian 1984, offers an entertaining series of historical accounts taken from the 19th century to highlight a main theme: the nature of technological change, the fission brought about in society by such change, and society's reaction to that change.

This audiobook contains a broad overview of time travel in science fiction, along with a detailed examination of the philosophical implications of time travel. The emphasis of this book is now on the philosophical and on science fiction, rather than on physics, as in the author’s earlier books on the subject. In that spirit there are, for example, no tech notes filled with algebra, integrals, and differential equations, as there are in the first and second editions of Time Machines.

This chilling narrative reflects the stark divisions of society—much like those of Wells own time—between the privileged and the oppressed. Join us as we explore the unsettling consequences of this societal split. - Summary by phil chenevert

AI FIRST, Sébastien Studer explores the quiet revolution transforming humanity from within.
