Blood in the Machine

Brian Merchant's *Blood in the Machine* offers a gripping true story of the Luddite uprising in 19th-century England, when workers rebelled against automated machines threatening their livelihoods. This pivotal class struggle, marked by guerrilla raids and supported by figures like Lord Byron, brought England to its knees. Merchant expertly links this historical fight against job displacement to the rise of AI and big tech today, examining the enduring power, threat, and societal toll of automation on the global economy and future of work.
