Luddite reading group on the politics of technology

[Ned Ludd]

Dear friends,

Following the success of the Breaking the Frame gathering, the 
Breaking the Frame working group has decided to set up a monthly 
reading group on the politics of technology. We will look at some 
classic writers, such as Lewis Mumford, Carolyn Merchant, EF 
Schumacher, Ivan Illich, etc as well as more current writers, eg 
Evgeny Morozov.

The first meeting of the group will be at 7pm on July 14th, venue to 
be confirmed, in London. If you intend to be there, or can't make it 
but would like to come to future meetings, please let us know by 
replying to this email. The reading for the first meeting of the 
group will be Langdon Winner's 'Do Artifacts Have Politics?' 
(attached). We look forward to seeing you on July 14th.

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be 
revealed; and nothing hid that shall not be made known. What I tell 
you in darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye hear in the 
ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27
