Synopsis: John Etzler was probably crazy, but not so much more than your average futurist. ... We know him best for a slim, cockeyed volume he wrote in the 1830s called The Paradise Within the Reach of All Men, Without Labour, by Powers of Nature and Machinery: An Address to All Intelligent Men. ... Filled with mental sketches for tremendous machines that would harness the wind, waves, and sun for human purposes, the book rests on an insight blooming with Industrial Revolutionary fervor that has been repeated a million times over: The sun and wind and waves represented an infinite power.
