1. cool detail about Byron writing to Moore in support of Luddites 2. Shelley's Frankenstein as MODERN PROMETHEUS, the Luddite novel, Frankenstein's Monster as a "major literary Badass", and also an interesting point about the meme being strengthened when translated it to film https://t.co/wZA9Haue6J
