Young West: The Psyche of Technological Utopianism

	Segal, Howard P. "Young West: The Psyche of Technological Utopianism." Extrapolation 19.1 (Dec. 1977): 50-58.

Young West as a representative technological utopia embodying a belief common in the USA from 1833 to 1933: "the belief in the inevitability of progress and in progress as technological progress"; pushed to an extreme this belief yields technocracy or at least "the equation of advanced technology . . . with utopia."
