The story of an 1811-1812 uprising by English victims of the first Industrial Revolution, viewed from the perspective of the modern information revolution. A supporter of a neo-Luddite movement, the author reminds readers that today's rapidly developing technologies, machine-driven conformity, and corporatization are just as disruptive as the steam engine and laissez-faire were to 19th century cottage workers.
