Excerpt from Technocracy, First, Second and Third Series: Social Universals
I have read "Technocracy" with very great interest. I have been reaching the conclusion during the last year especially that engineers and technical men hold a peculiarly strategic position in the whole industrial structure of modern society; and on this account, as well as for the substance of it, "Technocracy" makes a special appeal to me.
Views of more or less similar import appear to be coming from a considerable range of technical men. All of this seems to indicate a fairly well-defined rebelliousness of practicing mechanics and engineers against the mechanistic philosophy of life. It is a significant fact that seemingly the strongest, most persistent upholders of the mechanistic philosophy are men who are not mechanics or mechanists at all in the practical sense.
