Stop the Machines : The Rise of Anti-Technology Extremism
As we stand on the cusp of an AI revolution, will we see the rise of a new anti-technology extremism that threatens to dismantle the gains of modern civilization? In the first exploration of this phenomenon, Mauro Lubrano traces the origins and evolution of anti-technology violence across the globe.He identifies three main groups fuelling such resistance: insurrectionary anarchists, eco-extremists, and eco-fascists.Exploring the justifications that underlie the opposition to technology and the strategies employed to ‘stop the machines’, he shows how anti-tech extremism has emerged as a reaction to the Anthropocene – an attempt to undo the epoch of human domination.The intellectual flexibility of this ideology lends itself to different causes, from the class struggle against the techno-elites to the defence of nature and white supremacy. With fears about the risks of artificial intelligence mounting and the world beset by serious ‘polycrises’, what is currently a fragmented, fringe phenomenon holds the potential for dramatic escalation.

Extremism : A Philosophical Analysis
Extremism is one of the most charged and controversial issues of the twenty-first century.Despite myriad programs of deradicalization and prevention around the world, it remains an intractable and poorly understood problem.Yet it is also sometimes regarded as a positive force – according to Martin Luther King Jr., 'the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be'. In this much-needed and lucid book, Quassim Cassam identifies three types of extremism – ideological; methods; and psychological extremism – and discusses the following fundamental topics and issues: What is extremism?What are the methods adopted by extremists? Is there an extremist ‘mindset’ and if so, what is it?What role do ideas of purity, victimhood and humiliation play in understanding extremism?How does extremism differ from fanaticism and fundamentalism?How does one become an extremist and how should we understand deradicalization?Throughout the book, Quassim Cassam uses many compelling examples, ranging from the Khmer Rouge, the IRA, Al-Qaeda and Timothy McVeigh to Philip Roth’s novel American Pastoral and counter-extremism programmes, including the UK’s Prevent strategy.Clear-headed and engaging, Extremism: A Philosophical Analysis is essential reading for anyone interested in this important topic, not only in Philosophy but related disciplines such as Politics and International Relations, Conflict and Terrorism Studies, Law, Education and Religion.It will also be of great interest to policy-makers and those engaged in understanding extremism at any level.

Aspects of the New Right-Wing Extremism
On 6 April 1967, at the invitation of the Socialist Students of Austria at the University of Vienna, Theodor W.Adorno gave a lecture which is not merely of historical interest.Against the background of the rise of the National Democratic Party of Germany, which had enjoyed remarkable electoral success in the first two years after its formation in November 1964, Adorno analysed the goals, resources and tactics of the new right-wing nationalism of this time.Contrasting it with the ‘old’ fascism of the Nazis, Adorno gave particular attention to the ways in which far-right movements elicited enthusiastic support in sections of the West German population, 20 years after the war had ended. Much has changed since then, but some elements have remained the same or resurfaced in new forms, 50 years later.Adorno’s penetrating analysis of the sources of right-wing radicalism is as relevant today as it was five decades ago.It is a prescient message to future generations who find themselves embroiled once again in a struggle against a resurgent nationalism and right-wing extremism.

Religion, Extremism and Violence in South Asia
This book sheds light on religiously motivated extremism and violence in South Asia, a phenomenon which ostensibly poses critical and unique challenges to the peace, security and governance not only of the region, but also of the world at large.The book is distinctive in-so-far as it reexamines conventional wisdom held about religious extremism in South Asia and departs from the literature which centres its analyses on Islamic militancy based on the questions and assumptions of the West’s ‘war on terror’.This volume also offers a comprehensive analysis of new extremist movements and how their emergence and success places existing theoretical frameworks in the study of religious extremism into question.It further examines topical issues including the study of social media and its impact on the evolution and operation of violent extremism.The book also analyses grassroots and innovative non-state initiatives aimed to counter extremist ideologies.Through case studies focusing on Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, this collection examines extremist materials, methods of political mobilisation and recruitment processes and maps the interconnected nature of sociological change with the ideological transformations of extremist movements.
