ABSTRACT
It is universally acknowledged that we live in the most technological age in history — because, it is widely believed, technology has become universal. Embodied in the Internet and bound up with the system of global capital, technology is now everywhere from San Jose to Tokyo, Bangalore to Helsinki, London to New York. How is it possible in the face of such an unprecedented and ubiquitous force to be “against” technology? What does it mean even to imagine such a position, to call yourself a Luddite at this late date in the history of technological society?
