Victorian
An Inquiry into the Mechanical, Moral, and Psychological Architectures of the Nineteenth CenturyBy Atlas Meyers
Length1h 30m
About this audiobook
The modern world was not born; it was engineered.
Move beyond the clichés of top hats and fog. VICTORIAN offers a lucid, structural analysis of the era that invented the rhythm of our lives. This volume explores the violent collision between ancient faith and the industrial machine, revealing how the nineteenth century created the anxieties that still plague us today.
Inside, you will discover:
How the railway destroyed local time and imposed the tyranny of the clock.
The psychological trauma caused by Darwin and the discovery of Deep Time.
How the "Angel in the House" and the rigid class system acted as a fortress against chaos.
The birth of consumer culture, the Crystal Palace, and the engineering of the modern city.
VICTORIAN is a primer on the moment humanity traded nature for the machine. Understand the past to decode the present.
