The God of the Machine

The God of the Machine is a book written by Isabel Paterson and originally published in January 1943 in the United States by G. P. Putnam’s Sons. At the time of its release, it was considered a cornerstone to the philosophy of individualism. Her biographer, Stephen D. Cox, in 2004 described Paterson as the « earliest progenitor of libertarianism as we know it today ».
