Wasn't the Future Wonderful?: A View of Trends and Technology From the 1930s

Onosko, Tim. Wasn't the Future Wonderful?: A View of Trends and Technology From the 1930s. New York: Dutton, 1979.

Mostly from Modern Mechanix (sic) magazine from 1930-37, but with some others, including The Technocrats' Magazine. See for earnest discussions of such topics as, "Is Man Doomed by the Machine Age" (18-23) and for text and copious illustrations of the great future of mechanical civilization as seen from the view of 1930s technophiles.[1]
