Ancient Automation: The First Machines of Civilization Book 2 Long before computers, electricity, or modern factories, humanity was already building machines that could measure, regulate, calculate, and perform work. Ancient Automation: The First Machines of Civilization, Book 2 of The History of Automation Series, explores the remarkable technologies that laid the foundations of the automated world. Journey from the engineered systems of Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt to the mechanical ingenuity of Greece, Rome, and Ancient China. Discover the work of pioneering engineers such as Philon of Byzantium and Hero of Alexandria, explore the extraordinary Antikythera Mechanism, and learn how water power, mechanical control, automata, irrigation systems, gears, and other ancient technologies introduced ideas that still appear in modern machines. Written for history enthusiasts, engineers, students, technology professionals, and anyone curious about how civilization learned to make machines work for us, this book connects ancient ingenuity with the automation surrounding us today. The automated world did not begin with the computer. Its story began thousands of years earlier.©2026 Andrew Miller (P)2026 Andrew Miller Ancient Asia
