Sisyphus in the machine room. A history of the fallibility of man and technology. From industrialization to the present day.
The human relationship to technology is characterized by an alarming imbalance: People appear
to be flawed beings, they make mistakes and do stupid things, while their machines and technologies
are seen precisely as overcoming their weaknesses. Martina Hessler tells the impressive story of this
powerful idea, in which human fallibility is stubbornly combined with technological perfection
