Mike Jay (the reviewer here) is such an interesting writer.
The Air Loom Gang (http://mikejay.net/books/the-air-loom-gang/ http://mikejay.net/books/the-air-loom-gang/) is an amazing book: it tells the story of James Tilly Matthews, the first person recorded to have believed that his thoughts were being influenced by a machine.
