One of my favorite random pieces of history: Lord Byron penned an (admittedly well-written) full-throated defense of Luddites, and was one of the most popular people to advocate destroying machines and slowing tech. http://www.luddites200.org.uk/LordByronspeech.html … Then he gave birth to Ada Lovelace.
