Join us on August 4, 2025 for a timely discussion with Dr. Mauro Lubrano, Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in International Relations in the Department of Politics, Languages, and International Studies at the University of Bath, to explore his new book, Stop the Machines: The Rise of Anti-Technology Extremism. In an extremist ecosystem increasingly driven by grievances and narratives, the intellectual flexibility of this anti-technology ideology represents a potent emerging threat. The conversation, moderated by Research Fellow Jon Lewis, will examine the origins and evolution of anti-technology extremist violence across the globe, from insurrectionary anarchists to eco-extremists and eco-fascists.

How do fears of #AI, automation & surveillance fuel a new wave of #extremism? In this analysis, @maurolubrano.bsky.social explores the rise of #antitechnology extremism, which sees modern tech as an existential threat & advocate for its violent eradication.

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

“Anti-technology extremism possesses a remarkable quality: flexibility. This characteristic enables it to unite disparate actors – such as anarchists and white supremacists – under a common banner.” 'Stop the Machines' by @maurolubrano.bsky.social‬ is out today in the UK. www.politybooks.com/...

Yesterday I had the pleasure of introducing Mauro Lubrano’s new book ahead of his lively conversation with Sean Fleming. Congratulations on a topical and important book, @maurolubrano.bsky.social

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!

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.
