IMO an understanding of modern technology and historical abuse of such makes neo-luddism the only logical end point. If you, like I, am thouroughly excited by the power of modern systems, I feel a cursory glance in the past compared to what is currently occuring should be enough to make one want to resist, whether it feels futile or not.

EDIT: Does anyone have good modern literature recommedations (blog / pamphlet / book) to support this view. Luddism is not the cause i am going to die for, but I do broadly support the views and ideas so would be interested to have a stronger base. Even the wikipedia prose feels dammning:

" The term "Luddite fallacy" is used by economists to refer to the fear that technological unemployment inevitably generates structural unemployment and is consequently macroeconomically injurious. If a technological innovation reduces necessary labour inputs in a given sector, then the industry-wide cost of production falls, which lowers the competitive price and increases the equilibrium supply point that, theoretically, will require an increase in aggregate labour inputs.[47] During the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century, the dominant view among economists has been that belief in long-term technological unemployment was indeed a fallacy. More recently, there has been increased support for the view that the benefits of automation are not equally distributed."
