"Neo-Luddit*innen sind Bürger*innen des 20. Jahrhunderts - Aktivist*innen, Arbeiter*innen, Nachbar*innen, Sozialkritiker*innen und Gelehrt*innen - die die vorherrschende moderne Weltanschauung hinterfragen, die predigt, dass grenzenlose Technologie Fortschritt ist.

Wie die frühen Luddit*innen, sind auch wir verzweifelte Menschen, die versuchen die Lebensgrundlagen, Gemeinschaften und Familie, die sie lieben, zu schützen, wie sie drohen zerstört zu werden."

I think it’s really important for a kid to be left alone and left to figure it out for themselves how to pass the time. As a kid, I spent so much time bored and coming up with ideas of how to do things, so I’d write stories or I’d draw pictures or invent worlds through drawing or just in my head, just thinking about things. I think that a lot of my creativity has really come from being bored.' " [SO TRUE!!!]
