Before the factory whistle, time belonged to the farmer. After it, time belonged to the machine. Victorian Britain did not merely invent new technologies―it invented a new kind of human being: punctual, obedient, replaceable. This book examines the industrial revolution not as a story of inventors and entrepreneurs but as a system of social control disguised as progress.
