Rebels Against the Future: The Luddites and Their War on the Industrial Revolution: Lessons for the Computer Age Paperback - 1996
by Kirkpatrick Sale
The first popular history of the rebellion against technology that still reverberates today. In the 1990s we use the term "luddite" to refer to anyone not enamored of technology. Now the author of The Conquest of Paradise: Christopher Columbus and the Columbian Legacy takes us back to the time when being a Luddite could get you hanged.
First line
IT WAS ABOUT a half hour after midnight on an April Sunday in 1812 that the band of some six score Yokshiremen finally made their way down the rutted lane that led to a place called Rawfolds Mill, a looming multistory building, protected by a gated wall, housing the hated woolen machines of the hated manufacturer William Cartwright.
