In Kang's telling, automata are mirrors of the ideas, fears, and anxieties of a given era, in that attitudes towards the machines have always been indicative of a moment's zeitgeist. The book is historically sweeping, but not comprehensive; the focus is on what Kang takes to be key changes in the representations of and responses to automata. His main interest is on how Europeans in different periods of the past thought about the very notion of a self-moving machine that acted as if it were alive and how they used it for various symbolic and intellectual purposes. 001478938 538__ $$aMode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. 001478938 546__ $$aIn English. 001478938 5880_ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 01.
