Blood in the Machine

This is an incredibly well-researched and masterfully written book on the history of the Luddites and the first unscrupulous tech titans of the 19th century. Highly recommended read.

This book has two components, the retelling of the original Luddites and commentary on current events of Silicon Valley taking jobs. The Luddite portions are five star and wonderful. The commentary isn’t bad, but isn’t particularly insightful either.
