A main source of inspiration for this story-line was the American writer Lewis Mnmford, especially his classic work, Technics and Civilization, from 1934. Mumford was one of the first to discuss the cultural preconditions for modem science and technology, and to explore the long process of cultural preparation prior to the scientific and industrial revolutions. He was also one of the first to discuss the cultural consequences, and, not least, the forms of cultural resistance and opposition to science and technology. Later in his life, he became one of the main critics of the so-called military-industrial complex in the United States which he saw as a new kind of authoritarian engineering, what he termed the megamachine (Mumford 1970).
