The Failure of technology was written during a few short months in the spring and early summer of 1939. For this reason, it seems to have the freshness and intensity of an improvisation. But the reader will sense that it was the foreboding of impending disaster rather than the happiness of a strong inspiration which drove on the author. He knew he had to use the short time left before the storm finally broke. Thus it mattered little to him, one it was written, that the manuscript had to be hidden from those heedless slaves of soulless materialism, the Nazis, and could only see the light of day six years after it was written.

First Sentence
"Stories of mechanical utopias, as a glance at literature shows, are far from rare; on the contrary, there are so many of them and they find the readers so readily that one is justified in assuming a general need for literature of this sort."
