WHO IS KEVIN KELLY? WIRED's executive editor and resident techno-optimist. Kelly had asked Sale for an interview. But he planned an ambush... WHO IS PATRICK SALE? Author; adored Luddites. THE CHIEF CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TWO MEN Kelly had just read an early copy of Sale's upcoming book, called Rebels Against the Future .

Being able to read silently to yourself was considered AN AMAZING TALENT . Writing was an even rarer of amazing talents at that time. In 15th-century Europe only one in 20 adult MALES could write. Crazy to think that women did not have a right to read at all. Over time, by 1910 three-quarters of the towns in America with more than 2,500 residents had a public library.
