Monkey See Monkey Don't
Author: Paul Blackburn
Publisher: Bookpal
ISBN: 9780987085283
Category : Self-actualization (Psychology)
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
There's a revolution taking place. Few realise its implications - yet those who do are uniquely placed to experience extraordinary success. Those who taught us that hard work and a steady job were the secrets to success were merely repeating what had worked for them, without realising that the ground had shifted underneath them. With 'government guaranteed jobs' replaced by contracts, internet fortunes made overnight, marriages failing at a rate of one in three, average job placement for under 30s less than three years, 100-year-old institutions collapsing each day, and national economies in crisis... Nothing is the same as it was as far as getting what you want out of life is concerned.

Against Technology
Author: Steven E. Jones
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135522391
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
This book addresses the question of what it might mean today to be a Luddite--that is, to take a stand against technology. Steven Jones here explains the history of the Luddites, British textile works who, from around 1811, proclaimed themselves followers of "Ned Ludd" and smashed machinery they saw as threatening their trade. Against Technology is not a history of the Luddites, but a history of an idea: how the activities of a group of British workers in Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire came to stand for a global anti-technology philosophy, and how an anonymous collective movement came to be identified with an individualistic personal conviction. Angry textile workers in the early nineteenth century became romantic symbols of a desire for a simple life--certainly not the original goal of the actions for which they became famous. Against Technology is, in other words, a book about representations, about the image and the myth of the Luddites and how that myth was transformed over time into modern neo-Luddism.
