   I finally finished "Blood In The Machine" by @brianmerchant and can only find words of glowing praise.

   The book retells the story of the "Luddites", an early 1800 workers and protest movement against automation and workers exploitation.

   The book is so valuable because it doesn't simply report the historical events, the years of the uprising and the important figures but uses the Luddites as a blueprint for analyzing the economic dynamics of automation and resistance against Big Tech today.
