This week @bcmerchant is back to talk with @parismarx about the real history of the Luddites and why we should be inspired by them.

In this clip, Brian explains how the divide on the ��machine question” is as relevant today as it was in 1811.

New from 404 Media: those food delivery robots that are armed with cameras and driving all over sidewalks in LA? They're providing filmed footage to the LAPD, according to internal emails we got. Food delivery robots just became surveillance devices https://t.co/kAxh1tSgZ0

Damn. The @NewYorker calls Blood in the Machine "a gripping narrative of political resistance" in a sharp beautifully written review that expands some of the parallels I explore in the book. Thanks, @chaykak

In *Blood In the Machine,* @BCMerchant delivers the definitive history of the #Luddites, and the clearest analysis of the automator's playbook, where "entrepreneurs'" lawless extraction from workers is called "innovation" and "inevitable":

I wrote the bulk of the book as a narrative in an effort to put the reader in the Luddites’ shoes as they confront a vanishing future; a world that is being privatized, factorized, and commodified, and bent, against their will, to the whims of the tech titans of the day.

[Brian Merchant @bcmerchant]

It’s pub day for Blood in the Machine, the book I’ve been working on for over five years. It tells the story of a chapter in history too often papered over—how workers rose up at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution when entrepreneurs used machines to take or degrade their jobs.

[Brian Merchant @bcmerchant]

I grew up loving technology, and have dedicated my career to covering tech. I'm also a Luddite. Wrote about how that came to be for the @washingtonpost, and why you should be a Luddite too

New from 404 Media: an AI startup founder was recently in a Forbes 30 Under 30 for their 2D to 3D image conversion company

We found at one point it was humans behind the work, sometimes producing work wholecloth without the help of machine learning at all https://t.co/GtMGrqxLXa

SCOOP: A group representing L. Ron Hubbard has formally asked the Federal Government to make it illegal to hack specific devices for the purposes of repair. Experts I spoke to called it the "strangest" DMCA petition they'd seen
