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.
Maybe you should read Lord Byron’s letter we’re actually referencing?

Austen he very clearly and explicitly says that "the real cause of these distresses, and consequent disturbances" is not machinery but the government's "bitter policy [of] destructive warfare" against workers interests
