Brian Merchant | Technology Writer
Darby Vickers, PhD | Philosophy
This event is a conversation between technology writer Brian Merchant and Darby Vickers, PhD, assistant professor of philosophy and Humanities Center Element Chair, Technology and Humanities. The conversation centers on Merchant's 2023 book, Blood in the Machine: The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech. Blood in the Machine vividly describes the Luddite revolution -- where those put out of work by textile machines broke the machines that were taking their jobs -- and what we can learn from the Luddite revolution to think about ways to resist big technology.
