This talk addresses the Victorian vestiges of a still-influential spiritualdiscourse: the felt technical experience of “divine design.” In NaturalTheology (1802), William Paley envisions a natural world of analogicalclocks, which persuade and, indeed, speak to us through an immersiveencounter with material artistry and skill. Although Paley’s star certainlyfaded in later years, I argue that his discourse persists in alternate,technophilic forms: in what H. G. Wells describes as the “technologicalPatter” of his own science fiction. I explore how Wells ironizes andaestheticizes these mechanical models of belief, both in his eponymoustime machine (1894-95) and in the troubling figure of a “savage” worshipping an industrial engine (in "The Lord of the Dynamos" [1894]).
