| 520 | _a"Ouroboros; or, the mechanical extension of mankind" by Garet Garrett is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The work explores the evolution of humanity in relation to machines and mechanical inventions and examines how these advancements have transformed society, economics, and the nature of toil. The thematic insight focuses on humanity's unending quest to escape labor through mechanization, only to find themselves entrenched in an even more profound cycle of production and consumption. At the start of the treatise, the author presents a narrative of humanity's historical struggle to escape the burdens of work, tracing this journey from the agricultural society to the age of machines. He discusses how the advent of technology and efficient machinery aimed to liberate individuals from manual labor but ultimately resulted in an overwhelming obligation to maintain and feed the very systems designed to serve them. As Garrett delves into the paradox of surplus production and the implications of mechanization, he raises thought-provoking questions about the nature of economic necessity and human fulfillment in the industrial landscape.
