1967 L. Mumford Myth of Machine ix. 189 When all the components, political and economic, military, bureaucratic and royal, must be included, I shall usually refer to the ‘megamachine’: in plain words, the Big Machine. And the technical equipment derived from such a megamachine thence becomes ‘megatechnics’.
1987 Ecologist Mar.–June 108/1 If we are to have a future, we must reject ‘Megatechnics’ in favour of ‘Polytechnics’—technology that enhances life rather than destroys it.
