First published in England in 1928 in the ÔTo-Day and To-MorrowÕ series, this brief treatise on automation gives us a glimpse into contemporary concepts of robotics and the possible applications of the then-current technology to modern civilization. \u003cbr\u003e\nIn retrospect, the proposals put forth may seem quaint; but, given the post-WWI climate in which it was written, the ideas offered, and the dreams of a world improved by robotic servants, convey a sense of positive hope in the light of growing technological advance during the 1920Õs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"H.
