Machine People

Boris Artzybasheff
1899 ~ 1965

In his introduction to the section titled "Machinalia" in his book As I See,
Boris Artzybasheff says, "I am thrilled by machinery's force, precision
and willingness to work at any task, no matter how arduous or monotonous it may be.
I would rather watch a thousand ton dredge dig a canal than see it done
by a thousand spent slaves lashed into submission. I like machines."
