Extropia’s Mad-Tech: Metal Giants

EXTROPIA’S MAD-TECH: “METAL GIANTS”

When the enemy forces are darkening the skies of Blighty’s capital, who you gonna call? No, not the Ghostbusters, but rather colossal metal robots.

Just look at these behemoths. Even St Paul’s looks puny in comparison. I can’t decide whether this illustration was very optimistic about advances in robotics, or very pessimistic with regards to how quickly airplanes would develop. I mean, look, aren’t those bi-planes going up against giant, death-ray firing robo-men?
