Background information
The historical Luddites were 19th-century English textile workers who smashed textile machines. They did not necessarily oppose the use of machines as such, but objected to their use in a "fraudulent and deceitful manner." The term was later applied to any objection or opposition to the use of automation, computerization or technology in general.
Apocrypha
One of several playable Star Trek: Voyager missions in the Star Trek: Encounters video game is called "The Luddite Prophecy".
