{"product_id":"9781509555734","title":"Stop the Machines : The Rise of Anti-Technology Extremism","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs we stand on the cusp of an AI revolution, will we see the rise of a new anti-technology extremism that threatens to dismantle the gains of modern civilization?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In the first exploration of this phenomenon, Mauro Lubrano traces the origins and evolution of anti-technology violence across the globe. He identifies three main groups fuelling such resistance: insurrectionary anarchists, eco-extremists, and eco-fascists. Exploring the justifications that underlie the opposition to technology and the strategies employed to 'stop the machines', he shows how anti-tech extremism has emerged as a reaction to the Anthropocene - an attempt to undo the epoch of human domination. The intellectual flexibility of this ideology lends itself to different causes, from the class struggle against the techno-elites to the defence of nature and white supremacy. With fears about the risks of artificial intelligence mounting and the world beset by serious 'polycrises', what is currently a fragmented, fringe phenomenon holds the potential for dramatic escalation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52737814167863,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":378.98,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9781509555734","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
