Notes on the underground : an essay on technology, society, and the imaginationWilliams, Rosalind H.The underground has always played a prominent role in human imaginings, both as a place of refuge and as a source of fear. The late nineteenth century saw a new fascination with the underground as ... Western societies tried to cope with the pervasive changes of a new social and technological order. In Notes on the Underground, Rosalind Williams takes us inside that critical historical moment, giving equal coverage to actual and imaginary undergrounds. She looks at the real-life invasions of the underground that occurred as modern urban infrastructures of sewers and subways were laid, and at the simultaneous archaeological excavations that were unearthing both human history and the planet's deep past. She also examines the subterranean stories of Verne, Wells, Forster, Hugo, Bulwer-Lytton, and other writers who proposed alternative visions of the coming technological civilization.Vrsta gradiva - knjiga ; neleposlovje za odrasleIzdaja - New ed.Založništvo in izdelava - Cambridge (Mass.) ; London : The MIT Press, cop. 2008Jezik - angleškiISBN - 978-0-262-73190-4COBISS.SI-ID - 22681603
