Brian Merchant ’s “Blood In The Machine” brilliantly reaches through time and space to tell a story about how technology changed our world.
An underground network of rebels in rural England two hundred years ago, the Luddites, took up arms against industrialists automating their work in this true story of the first time that machines came for human jobs by organizing guerrilla raids and smashing those machines.
Now we live in the second machine age, when similar fears that machines replacing human labor run high.
How will this all reshape our economy and the way we live?
