Dyson, George b. Darwin Among the Machines: The Evolution of Global Intelligence. Cambridge, MA: Perseus Books (Helix), 1997. To be perhaps studied with, but not to be confused with, Samuel Butler's essay, "Darwin Among the Machines."
Opening sentences: "This is a book about the nature of machines. It is framed as history but makes no claim to have separated the fables from the facts. Both mythology and science have a voice in explaining how human beings and technology arrived at the juncture that governs our lives today" (p. xi; "Preface: Edge of the World").
