The subject of bets, barbs, and grudging praise in the pages of \u003ci\u003eWIRED, The New York Times, Newsweek, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eRebels Against the Future\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirkpatrick Sale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0201407183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780201407181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.10w x 0.89d","brand":"Kirkpatrick Sale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046959476991,"sku":"9780201407181","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5106ecef-1bfe-4941-a706-ff6a7086812f.jpg?v=1684987475","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rebels-against-the-future-kirkpatrick-sale-9780201407181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
