Review
"It is a provocative, enlightening, sometimes frightening story." —Thomas Sugrue, New York Times
"Many people have wondered what mechanization is doing to man; nobody yet has investigated, documented, and illustrated the question to the extent of this enormous and fascinating book." —Time
"Giedion reveled in the splendor of such humble things, the stuff of ordinary life. He studied them lovingly and sought to convey to his readers a sense of their inner beauty, mystery, and wonder." —Technology and Culture
