‘Savages’ and Spiritual Engines: Feeling the Machine in H. G. Wells’s Time Machine and ‘Lord of the Dynamos’ by Tamara Ketabgian

“…This essay explores the vestigial influence of natural theology, and its discourse of divine design, on H. G. Wells’s fictions of technology. In Natural Theology (1802), an influential text in this spiritual tradition, William Paley envisions a natural world of analogical clocks, which persuade and appeal to viewers through an immersive encounter with material artistry and skill. …”
