We should all be Luddites

It’s time to rehabilitate the Luddites as guides for the present. They understood that the future is not written by the machine, but by those who wield it. To be a Luddite today is to refuse the fatalism of techno-inevitability and to demand that technology serve the many, not just the few. It is to assert that questions of labor, agency, and justice must come before speed, efficiency, and scale.
