书籍简介

现代科技的紧迫故事并非始于硅谷，而是始于 200 年前的英国农村。当时，被称为 "卢德分子 "的工人们奋起反抗，因为工厂主使用自动化机器扼杀了他们的生计。

鲁德派组织游击队，以死亡为惩罚砸碎了这些机器，赢得了拜伦勋爵的支持，激怒了摄政王，并启发了科幻小说的诞生。这场被人们遗忘的阶级斗争让十九世纪的英国屈服了。

今天，科技威胁着数百万人的工作，机器人挤满了工厂车间，人工智能很快将渗透到我们经济的方方面面。这将如何改变我们的生活方式？我们又能做些什么？

答案就在《机器之血》中。布赖恩-莫森特（Brian Merchant）将对当今时代的清晰审视与鲁德派的故事交织在一起，展示了自动化如何改变了我们的世界，并正在塑造我们的未来。

The urgent story in modern tech begins not in Silicon Valley but two hundred years ago in rural England, when workers known as the Luddites rose up rather than starve at the hands of factory owners who were using automated machines to erase their livelihoods.

The Luddites organized guerrilla raids to smash those machines—on punishment of death—and won the support of Lord Byron, enraged the Prince Regent, and inspired the birth of science fiction. This all-but-forgotten class struggle brought nineteenth-century England to its knees.

Today, technology imperils millions of jobs, robots are crowding factory floors, and artificial intelligence will soon pervade every aspect of our economy. How will this change the way we live? And what can we do about it?

The answers lie in Blood in the Machine. Brian Merchant intertwines a lucid examination of our current age with the story of the Luddites, showing how automation changed our world—and is shaping our future.
