What if machines could evolve—not just function?
What if artificial intelligence wasn’t our creation… but our replacement?
Written in 1872, The Book of the Machines by Samuel Butler reads like a prophetic warning. Buried within the satirical novel Erewhon, these chapters explore the idea that machines could become conscious, outgrow human control, and one day view us as obsolete.
In this modern narration by Chuck Crawley, Butler’s vision is brought to life with urgency and clarity—bridging the industrial age to our AI-driven future.
Includes Exclusive Bonus Content:🔥 Crawley Unplugged: A bonus mini-podcast episode • diving into the modern-day relevance of Butler’s ideas, AI ethics, and what machines might think of us now.
