Luddites
As part of my research at CSNI I've been thinking a lot about the Luddites. Here are some links to Ludd related projects on this website and a reading list of all things Ludd.
A great annotated Luddite library including many of the books listed below is available from: Librarian Shipreck.
I'm starting to compile some of the resources that I've digitised or processed in formats that I hadn't been able to find elsewhere. These will be shared here:
- Ben O Bills, The Luddite (an epub version created from Project Gutenberg ASCII version - other epub versions are available directly from Project Gutenberg) Download .zip
Listening
- A really good accessible conversation with Gavin Mueller on the Upstream podcast is available here (ep Jan 3, 2023).
- This Machine Kills podcast (Sadowski, Jathan, Edward Ongweso, and Jereme Brown)[always Luddite - but e120 a good jumping in point]
