Excerpt from Successful Living in This Machine Age He comes as near to being the philosopher of our machine economy as we have yet produced. More than any other American, and before any other American, he foresaw and formulated the social significance of mass production and mass distribution, if and when these processes are subjected to statesmanlike direction. We need his sanity and his seer ship respecting the machine economy just now, for, with an undue continuance of the world-wide depression, men will be powerfully tempted to rebel against the machine economy, as if it were to blame for their troubles, whereas their trou bles have come upon them, not because the machine economy has been developed, but because the machine economy has not been fully met by a new business statesmanship that sees it for the instrument Of economic stabilization and social enrichment that it is. Men are everywhere blaming the ma chine order for sins that lie rather at the door Of the economic order.

As the Internet Age endures and expands, Peter K. Fallon peers into the Pandora's Box of our age. A twenty-first century update to Jacques Ellul's masterful sociological study Propaganda, Propaganda 2.1 explores how the 'digital revolution' has transformed the boundaries between individuals, institutions, and centres of power. Coupling historical analysis with a wealth of current examples, Fallon exposes the intricate and insidious ways propaganda alters our daily realities. Propaganda 2.1 is divided into three sections: propaganda 1.0, 2.0, and 2.1. Propaganda 1.0 compares the popular conception of propaganda with persuasive techniques such as rhetoric and coercion; 2.0 reveals how the development of moveable-type printing built the foundations of modern propaganda; and, finally, 2.1 inhabits the 'post-truth' world in its totality. Whilst the media landscape continually shifts, Propaganda 2.1's analysis is an opportunity to tackle this new reality.

Excerpt from The Voice of the Machines: An Introduction to the Twentieth Century It would be difficult to find anything in the encyclopedia that would justify the claim that we are about to make, or anything in the dictionary. Even a poem - which is supposed to prove anything with a little of nothing - could hardly be found to prove it; but in this beginning hour of the twentieth century there are not a few of us - for the time at least allowed to exist upon the earth - who are obliged to say (with Luther), "Though every tile on the roundhouse be a devil, we cannot say otherwise - the locomotive is beautiful." As seen when one is looking at it as it is, and is not merely using it. As seen from a meadow. We had never thought to fall so low as this, or that the time would come when we would feel moved - all but compelled, in fact - to betray to a cold and discriminating world our poor, pitiful, one-adjective state.
