The God of the Machine is a book written by Isabel Paterson and originally published in January 1943 in the United States by G. P. Putnam's Sons.[1] At the time of its release, it was considered a cornerstone to the philosophy of individualism.[2] Her biographer, Stephen D. Cox, in 2004 described Paterson as the "earliest progenitor of libertarianism as we know it today".[3]

The book has been published several times: by G.P. Putnam's Sons in 1943, by Muriel Hall in 1964,[4] by Transaction Publishers in 1993,[5] and by Routledge in 2017.[6]
