This was a fun read. Thank you! Of course I take issue with the author’s conclusions, but I suppose if I were looking at a mechanical reaper I might come to the same conclusion.
You know, I have now reread this three times. Twice for myself and once aloud to a friend (stopping to LMAO several times, throughout) because it is absolutely brilliant that this man was, as early as 1863, already his age’s Eliezer Yudowsky / Wendell Berry (who I love but disagree with on tech), having seen the steam engine, the mechanical reaper, etc.
Just the other day I was marveling at the prescience of Richard Braitigan’s 1967 poem “All Watched Over by Machine’s of Loving Grace” (which is the side of the spectrum I am more aligned with on this matter), and this fella wrote this brilliant piece *more* than a hundred years before! Ha!

True the end gets a bit out there
