The fascinating untold story of how the ancients imagined robots and other forms of artificial life--and even invented real automated machines
The first robot to walk the earth was a bronze giant called Talos. This wondrous machine was created not by MIT Robotics Lab, but by Hephaestus, the Greek god of invention. More than 2,500 years ago, Greek mythology was exploring ideas about creating artificial life--and grappling with still-unresolved ethical concerns about biotechne, life through craft. In this compelling, richly illustrated book, Adrienne Mayor tells the fascinating story of how ancient Greek, Roman, Indian, and Chinese myths envisioned artificial life, automata, self-moving devices, and human enhancements--and how these visions relate to and reflect the ancient invention of real animated machines. Revealing how science has always been driven by imagination, and how some of today's most advanced tech innovations were foreshadowed in ancient myth, Gods and Robots is a gripping new story of mythology for the age of AI.Binding Type: Paperback

Fits perfectly
Size: 32mm, Color: Green
Works exactly as expected. Fits the 32mm oil filter housing perfectly and makes removal quick without slipping or rounding. Feels solid and well-made for the price. Used it for an oil change and it saved a lot of time compared to a strap wrench. Simple, effective tool—glad I bought it.

Perfect Fit 28mm Fuel Filter Socket
Size: 28mm, Color: Red
I bought the Felisbieti 28mm fuel filter socket for a vehicle maintenance project, and it worked perfectly. The fit is precise, gripping the fuel filter securely without slipping or rounding edges.
The build feels sturdy and durable, with a solid metal finish that stands up to repeated use. It fits snugly on my ratchet and made removing and installing the filter much easier and faster than using adjustable tools.
The only minor thing to note is that it’s specific to 28mm filters, so make sure it matches your vehicle. Overall, this socket is well-made, reliable, and a must-have for anyone doing DIY fuel filter work.

Perfect socket for the job
Size: 24mm, Color: Green, Size: 24mm, Color: Green
I purchased this 24mm socket specificaly to remove the oil filter housing on my Ram Promaster 2500 truck.
Since there is limited space to get a standard socket in this area, this low profile socket was able to do the job without requiring me to loosen and push aside other components.
I like that this socket is light weight, made of aluminum with large easy to read size eched into the body. the oil filter housing is made of plastic and does not require a beefy heavy steel socket. The walls on this socket are plenty thick as to cause me no concern about durability.
To me, the green color is a nice touch as will be easy to spot in my socket set for the oil changes.
