The Machine

LibriVox recording of The Machine, by Upton Sinclair. Read by a full cast. Upton Sinclair is best known for his novel The Jungle, an expose of the meatpacking industry. He was also a playwright whose works for the stage reflected the same progressive viewpoints found in his other writing.
