Autor Kirkpatrick Saleen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 apr 1996
Kirkpatrick
Sale
is
at
the
tumultuous
center
of
a
technology
backlash,
actively
challenging
Bill
Gates
on
the
one
hand
and
the
Unabomber
on
the
other.
The
subject
of
bets,
barbs,
and
grudging
praise
in
the
pages
ofWIRED,
The
New
York
Times,
Newsweek,andThe
New
Yorker,Rebels
Against
the
Futuretakes
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.
