Excerpt from Ouroboros or the Mechanical Extension of Mankind
One story of us is continuous. It is the story of our struggle to recapture the Garden of Eden, meaning by that a state of existence free from the doom of toil.
So long as the character of our economic life was agricultural, as it almost wholly was until a very recent time, the attack was naive. In the file of prayers, if one is kept, the thickest, dustiest bundle is that of our supplications for plenty - miraculous plenty without worry or price.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes us on a captivating journey through humanity's age-old quest for a life free from the burden of toil. From our early, naive hopes for miraculous abundance to the rise of science and the machine age, the author traces the evolution of our efforts to escape the "curse of Adam." The invention of machines, initially seen as a path to liberation, has instead created a complex web of new challenges. While the potential for plenty exists like never before, it is accompanied by an ever-increasing demand for human labor and a relentless pursuit of markets for the machine's endless output. This paradox of surplus, as the author calls it, has fueled fierce competition among nations and driven the relentless expansion of industry across the globe. This thought-provoking exploration of the machine's impact on society raises crucial questions about our relationship with technology and its ultimate consequences. Are we masters of the machines we have created, or are we becoming slaves to their insatiable demands? This book's profound insights challenge us to re-examine our assumptions about progress and to consider the true cost of our relentless pursuit of plenty.
