Breaking Things at Work
An exhilarating challenge to the way we think about work, technology, progress, and what we want from the futureIn the 19th century, English textile workers responded to the introduction of new tecnologies on the factory floor by smashing them to bits. The movement has been derided by scholars as a backwards-looking and ultimately ineffectual effort to stem the march of history; for Gavin Mueller, the movement gets at the heart of of the antagonistic relationship between workers - all workers, including us today - and the so-called progressive gains secured by new technologies. For years 'the Luddites' roamed the English countryside, practicing drills and maneuvers that they would later deploy on unassuming machines.
The luddites weren't primitive or even anachronistic - they are still a force, however unconsciously, in the workplaces of the 21st century world.
