1. Breaking Things At Work
The Luddites Are Right About Why You Hate Your Job
This thought-provoking work explores the intricate relationship between technology, labor, and resistance, challenging the conventional narrative that technological advancements inherently lead to progress and prosperity. It delves into the history of worker sabotage and the ways in which laborers have resisted the imposition of new technologies that threaten their livelihoods and autonomy. By examining various historical and contemporary examples, the book argues for a critical reevaluation of how technology is integrated into the workplace, advocating for a more equitable and worker-centered approach to technological development.
