"A satire on 'Kultur' in the twentieth century. Meccania is the Super State, Germany, seen from a new angle of vision by an unprejudiced observer. Behind the ludicrous aspects of super-bureaucracy and intellectual kultur inMeccania, a sinister and unsuspected menace to all humanity is gradually revealed. Europe is threatened by an insidious process of 'meccanisation,'--the transformation of human life into a perfectly organised mechanism. Problems of vital interest to statesmen and politicians of all countries and parties are discussed in the light of the developments of the meccanian Kultur." -- front cover.
