Kirkpatrick Sale is at the tumultuous centre of a technology
backlash, actively challenging Bill Gates on the one hand and the
Unabomber on the other. The subject of bets, barbs, and grudging
praise in the pages of WIRED, The New York Times, Newsweek, and The
New Yorker, Rebels Against the Future takes us back to the first
technology backlash, the short-lived and fierce Luddite rebellion
of 1811. Sale tells the compelling story of the Luddites'struggle
to preserve their jobs and way of life by destroying the machines
that threatened to replace them he then invokes a new-Luddite
spirit in response to today's technological revolution and calls
for another sort of rebellion: not one of violence but rather of
intellectually and ethically sound protest.
