- dhodges 8y agoYes, Richard Brautigan's most well-known poem. Brautigan was a poet to the hippie generation. His book "Trout Fishing in America" was everywhere in the late 60's. It's interesting to re-read "All watched over by machines of loving grace" and see how Brautigan anticipated AI, possibly influenced by McLuhan. I don't think Brautigan was thinking of typewriters when he wrote this line.
