Just a few weeks ago, I read an interesting article on the Festival of Ludd, the world’s first-ever festival dedicated to ‘Neo Luddism’ — a place where technology is openly eschewed, in layman’s terms.

I found it interesting that a loose, somewhat broad collection of thoughts and notions around techno-pessimism seems to be coalescing into something more mainstream. We’ve heard TED talks and read articles on Neo Luddism well before the Summer of Ludd was a thing, but this feels new to me — something being swept into a wider generational zeitgeist.
