About This Item
Reading, MA: Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 1995. First edition. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Very good/very good. xi, 320 p. Map. Occasional Footnotes. Timeline. Source Notes. Index. In this title, the author demonstrates how technology has contributed to human misery, lessening both our autonomy and our enjoyment of life. This is part a history of the original Luddites, and part a manifesto against further, technologically driven damage to our planet. The book reminds us of the common threads that link today's alienated citizen with the early 19th-century rebels against the industrial ethos.
