Full schedule: victorgom.es/neoluddite

We’re currently reading The Eye of the Master: A Social History of Artificial Intelligence by Matteo Pasquinelli. Our next book will be The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff.Archived pages of our previous books include: Resisting AI, The Human Use of Human Beings, Race After Technology, and Blood in the Machine: The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech If you’d like to learn more about me, you can visit victorgom.es for a bio.

Schedule

If you’re joining for the first time, I’d suggest you read this before anything else for brief context: What the Luddites Really Fought Against by Richard Conniff.

The only expectation is that you read the chapter(s) of the book that’s listed for that meeting. You’re still welcome to participate if you haven’t done the readings as long as you are mindful. For each chapter, I’ve also noted some optional readings for context, so I’d suggest checking those out rather than reading ahead in the book. And remember, if you ever find yourself struggling with any of the readings or concepts, reach out! Either directly to me over email or to the entire group over discord.
