Own a fascinating piece of mid-century social philosophy and technological criticism. In Post-Historic Man: An Inquiry, Roderick Seidenberg delivers a hauntingly prophetic look at the future of human society. Seidenberg argues that human history is merely a brief, chaotic transition phase between an instinct-driven prehistory and a completely organized "post-historic" era. He warns that as technological mastery and global bureaucracies expand, human actions will become entirely standardized and controlled—rendering individual creativity and freedom obsolete. 

This beautifully designed 1957 Beacon Press paperback printing features striking mid-century cover art, making it highly collectible for fans of sociology, technology history, and classical philosophy.
