#title A General Anti-Tech Reading List #author Theo Slade #date 2026 #lang en #pubdate 2026-09-28T10:01:31.584Z #topics original texts, reading lists, archiving, #notes To view a general anarchist reading list [[https://www.thetedkarchive.com/library/william-gillis-a-general-anarchist-reading-list/][click here]]. I’ve brazenly plagiarized most of the introduction from that text, simply editing sentences here and there to quickly make it work for here. I’ll likely keep swapping out paragraphs until it’s no longer plagiarized, though someone else is welcome to work on it also. *** On General Political Reading Lists
(some initial caveats)
Below is a quickly sketched map of texts with importance and influence in the anti-tech milieu. It is not a map of ideas, which are distinct from texts and flourish in political spaces often with little or no reference to formal texts. The point of this map is to provide those new to the anti-tech milieu with a quick way to understand “what matters” to anti-tech folk. For pro-tech folk, the use value might be attempting to better understand the threat of technophobic conservatives & eco-fascists in your community. Most sections have a critique sub-section where I’ve unashamedly included critiques with prescriptions that sometimes contradict one another. The aim is to find some critiques that are close to each specific ideology, giving zealots from those ideological tendencies the best chance of resonating with the critique. This is decidedly NOT a bibliography for answers to questions about “Is Pro or Anti-Tech Ideology Meant For You?” I would have made a completely different map for the uninitiated looking to grasp foundations or answer 101 concerns and questions. I might yet make that map, but it will be skewed to what I consider good arguments and counter-arguments, not necessarily every argument ever made under the banner of “anti-tech.” Reading a ton of books and zines is no replacement for having personal discussions and arguments with actual living people in the milieu. Ideally at actual gatherings and festivals, and away from online echo-chambers filled with people who have bootstrapped themselves with a lot of formal learning but little tacit knowledge or cultural continuity. Too often bibliographies of political milieus are wildly biased documents clearly pushing a specific party line or actively trying to re-write history by ignoring major texts and inflating minor ones. I have my own leanings, both ones with historical pedigrees and those operating as largely novel projects, but this is an attempt to map out the anti-tech milieu warts-and-all, not the milieu as anti-tech folk would like it to eventually sort out. I believe in providing people with accurate maps to expand their agency, and perhaps that will better inform conversations. Especially as so many new people interested in anti-tech ideas today are so disconnected from the prior culture and movement. I deeply despise a number of texts and writers included below (to say nothing of the ones I find tiresome or useless). It matters quite a lot that some of the authors of the texts below are fascists, apologist for child rape, etc. Other political traditions from Marxism to right-libertarianism have ugly histories also, however I think it’s imperative to be up-front about them. This also involves a dance around whether people that explicitly rejected identification as anti-tech should be included. I have included Ultimo Reducto for instance even though he rejects the label because he has a longstanding influence on the anti-tech milieu and even got Ted to acknowledge logical errors in his writing. There are many ‘missing sections’ (like short intros, anthropology reading, survivalist reading, etc) where there aren’t classic books per se to be linked, but where much of what there is of importance/influence is easily found online. I’m also sure I’ve forgotten stuff in the couple hours I’ve given to this. It’s a simple wikipedia style web page, so if you like you’re very welcome to help improve it by clicking the little writers pen at the top, or adding ‘/edit’ to the end of the URL. Or you can even copy the HTML and post it elsewhere, adding all the shit you hate me for not including. *** Milieu Histories - [[https://www.thetedkarchive.com/library/mauro-lubrano-stop-the-machines][Stop the Machines]] by Mauro Lubrano (2025) - [[https://thetedkarchive.com/library/kirkpatrick-sale-rebels-against-the-future][Rebels Against the Future]] (1995) - [[https://thetedkarchive.com/library/sean-fleming-the-unabomber-and-the-origins-of-anti-tech-radicalism][The Unabomber and the origins of anti-tech radicalism]] by Sean Fleming (2021) - [[https://www.thetedkarchive.com/library/michael-loadenthal-the-politics-of-attack][The Politics of Attack: Communiqués and Insurrectionary Violence]] by Michael Loadenthal - [[https://thetedkarchive.com/library/bron-taylor-religion-violence-and-radical-environmentalism][Religion, Violence and Radical Environmentalism]] by Bron Taylor (2007) - [[https://thetedkarchive.com/library/alston-chase-harvard-and-the-making-of-the-unabomber][Harvard and the Making of the Unabomber]] (Jun 2000) - [[https://thetedkarchive.com/library/eileen-pollack-from-the-unabomber-to-the-incels-angry-young-men-on-campus][From the Unabomber to the Incels: Angry Young Men on Campus]] by Eileen Pollack - [[https://thetedkarchive.com/library/peter-quigley-coyote-in-the-maze][Coyote in the Maze]] by Peter Quigley (1998) - [[https://thetedkarchive.com/library/martha-f-lee-earth-first-environmental-apocalypse][Earth First!
