All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace is Richard Brautigan's fifth poetry publication. Like several of his early works, the entire edition (of 1,500 copies) was distributed for free. The title poem envisions a world where cybernetics has advanced to a stage where it allows a return to the balance of nature and an elimination of the need for human labor. All thirty-two of the poems in this collection were republished in The Pill Versus the Springhill Mine Disaster.

   I like to think       (it has to be!)   of a cybernetic ecology   where we are free of our labors   and joined back to nature,   returned to our mammal   brothers and sisters,   and all watched over   by machines of loving grace.[1]
Excerpt from All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace (1967)
