    About this audiobook

    Arnold Bennett's The Human Machine presents a fascinating exploration of the human condition and our place within it. Through his masterful use of narrative, Bennett incisively examines the intricacies of personal identity, social responsibility, and humanity's relationship with technology. His concept of the 'machine' encapsulates the idea that we are all cogs in a larger system, each with our own distinct purpose yet ultimately dependent on one another for progress. Read in English, unabridged.
