- Summary:
- This book presents "the digital age" as a central theme, but amid the wave of digitization and the fascination with generative artificial intelligence, it is easy to overlook the compelling world of analog technology. Hence the book also describes an extraordinary array of largely forgotten objects: magnificent musical automatons, amazing picture clocks (with and without musical movements), and much more. -- summarized from back cover.
