> I really enjoyed Merchant’s book and did not enjoy Mueller’s (which I found to be 10% about the Luddites and 90% about interminable intra-Marxist ideological arguments).
I'm just about done with Blood in the Machine, and didn't quite remember the authors name so expected Sean to be critiquing this one as overly Marxist, since it is overwhelmingly sympathetic to the luddites and the working class in general, but apparently not.
In any case, I think it's important that everyone in tech follow Seans example here and gain a historical perspective of the Luddite movement. Whilst the movement won't go the same way, the historical incentives around labour centralization are extremely similar.
