My book, Stop the Machines, is out today (July 28 in the US).

Growing techlash has the potential to spill into violent extremism. Connecting insurrectionary anarchists, eco-extremists, and eco-fascists, our book of the week charts the contradictory emergence of "anti-tech extremism."

There have been some significant developments in anti-tech extremism as a driver of political violence recently: the anti-tech blackout sabotage in Côte d'Azur on 24/05, and the tragic 24/04 attack in Nantes. These trends are explored in Stop the Machines: tinyurl.com/ynaus6y2

Today, @maurolubrano.bsky.social explores the growing wave of attacks against #Tesla. He argues that some of the recent attacks, including those in Rome and Berlin, can be categorised as part of a broader anti-technology campaign rooted in insurrectionary anarchism.

Author copies of Stop the Machines are here! When I started this book in 2021, the topic felt important. Now, as the AI revolution unfolds, it feels urgent. Out 23 May (UK) / 28 July (US). Big thanks to my publisher @politybooks.bsky.social. Looking forward to taking it out on the road!
