Any books articles podcast eps etc you know that tells Luddite history in a new, positive light, optionally relating it to current tech-labour situation?
I'm particularly interested in stuff by academic historians as other stuff I'm able to find with more ease.
When I purchased my current residence, I had dreams of having get togethers, picnics, dinner parties, and simple social hangings about. Of course, this was exactly at the beginning of Covid and all those plans were dashed. Still, very nice to think of what might have been.

The image is of two pages detailing the design of targets from "The Manual for Rifle Practice" (1879) by Captain George Wood Wingate. Details are available in my blog posting at https://dime-novel-hero.dreamwidth.org/2026/03/10/
In 1871, Captain George Wingate introduced "The Manual for Rifle Practice" as the definitive marksmanship training guide for the newly formed National Rifle Association.
I have opinions.
