Rebels Against the Future Kirkpatrick Sale positions himself right in the middle of a debate about technological progress. The work has been discussed in renowned media such as WIRED, The New York Times, Newsweek and The New Yorker.
The book addresses the first technology spasm: the fierce Luddite uprising of 1811. Sale tells the story of workers who defended their jobs and way of life by destroying machines that threatened to replace them. At the same time, he calls for a new, peaceful and well-considered protest movement against the contemporary technological revolution.
