Blood in the Machine The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech

And I think there was an author named Brian Merchant who wrote a book called Blood and the Machine.

Brian has a new book out about the Luddites with a very metal title. It's called Blood in the Machine.

It's called Blood in the Machine. And it explores how English textile workers in the 19th century rose up against the growing trend of automation and the machines that were threatening their livelihoods.

If the Luddites didn't exist, then the tech industry would have to invent them.

It's that saying no that just resonates so deeply with what Luddism is all about.

If you're using automated machinery then some portion of that cloth that you would not otherwise be able to produce, you should tax that and then use that to fund worker programs.

We wanted to ask him actually about he wrote a whole book that he was here to promote about big tech and how big tech is too big.

And it is anti competitive, but he's super opposed to Lena Khan.

I really I swear there is a great book about the machine in Alabama politics over the century it's kind of crazy but Ian Sam's one of the resistance fighters
