Technoromanticism

I have a Google alert set up for the word "Luddite" so I get email every day with links to new occurrences of that word in news or blogs.  Today it found this blog of student postings for a course on "Technoromanticism".  It's pretty interesting reading.  There's currently a discussion of Frankenstein, with reference to Steven Jones's Against Technology, which is apparently one of the texts for the course.

Link: Technoromanticism.
