Is God of the Machine in the public domain?
Believed so. US works published between 1932 and 1963 kept copyright past 28 years only if someone filed a renewal, and no renewal for this work was found in the Catalog of Copyright Entries. That is a search result rather than a legal opinion: a renewal filed under a shortened title or a different claimant would not have been found. Some copies carry a rights notice, which records the original claim and does not extend a term that lapsed.
Who wrote God of the Machine?
Isabel Paterson (1886–1961) was a journalist, author, political philosopher, and literary critic. Along with Rose Wilder Lane and Ayn Rand, she is considered one of the three founding mothers of American libertarianism. This archive holds 2 of Paterson's works.
