The Luddites organized guerrilla raids to smash those machines--on punishment of death--and won the support of Lord Byron, enraged the Prince Regent, and inspired the birth of science fiction. This all-but-forgotten class struggle brought nineteenth-century England to its knees. Today, technology imperils millions of jobs, robots are crowding factory floors, and artificial intelligence will soon pervade every aspect of our economy. How will this change the way we live? And what can we do about it? The answers lie in Blood in the Machine. Brian Merchant intertwines a lucid examination of our current age with the story of the Luddites, showing how automation changed our world--and is shaping our future. 650 0 $a Industrial revolution $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Industrialization $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Technology and civilization. 650 0 $a Technology $x Social aspects $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Artificial intelligence $x Forecasting. 941 $a 12 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012428.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013452.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240416012010.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044958.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20240405010637.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314030036.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20240223010154.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125010933.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240119022911.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231107011030.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20231005010230.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20231004010202.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5BFF5A5E627B11EE9D8B625031ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
