For over forty years, Leo Marx--author of the highly-acclaimed The Machine in the Garden--has studied American culture as a dialectical process, a fruitful contest between conflicting ways of seeing the world and expressing its meaning. The Pilot and the Passenger, a collection of essays spanning Marx's career, explores the meaning of this contest as it makes itself felt in America's literature, technology, and cultural politics.
