Sam M’s Reviews > Blood in the Machine: The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech > Status Update

intro done! we learn about Ned Ludd, the man who ignited the fire in every anti-machinists heart, Edmund Cartwright, a clerical poet obsessed with automating work, Richard Arkwright, who also brought forth a lot of machines that reduced manpower, among a few others. reading about everyones unified rage against these new machines is knd of reassuring but in turn twice as horrifying modern day, knowing we prob wont win

very smart decision by the author to release something so applicable like this; he truly seems intrigued by the causes and results of the Luddite revolution, and already i can tell this is going to be a great read. you wouldnt have thought automated machines raking jobs away wouldve been an issue nearly 300 years ago, but it was! its crazy stuff, and i was also surprised to seeLord Byron and Mary Godwyn in the intro!
