It is strange to think that the idea of the Megamachine is meant by the Egyptian "machine" of thousands of people laboring towards one thing. Now, it means thousands of circuits that instantly zap from one place to another. But that is only a part of the whole. This organization is seen in heirarchies of societies as well as tools. However, the people that build and are a part of the "megamachine" become "spiritually dead", which is somewhat telling of a society that zones out on screens and machines. According to this article, it will and is created a "universal, but inadequate society".
