The fight continues...
We have received several emails from followers and visitors over the past few months asking about the status of ATC. For well over a year, the group has ceased all regular activities and membership has declined sharply. For the foreseeable future, the group will stay in this near dormant state. That means that there is no expectation of regular meetings or communications. We of course remain interested in all things anti-tech, especially if it's something of your own. Our email will continue to be checked every so often, so send all thoughts you have there. We are good about responding to serious inquiries (eventually).
We are thankful for the continued interest from the community. Let's keep working towards our anti-tech future.
Writing Submissions
While ATC will remain relatively inactive, we remain interested in community-powered publications. Our last attempt was the first edition of the ATC Journal, featuring four essays from community members, released early 2024.
So, this is an open call for submissions for a new edition of the ATC Journal.
We are looking for original, non-fiction, philosophically-grounded submissions which target some aspect of the technological system: anti-tech conceptual analysis, anti-tech activism, cultural critiques, geo-political speculation, the negative effects of single technologies, pollution, and so on.
The Journal will be released if and after we have a significant amount of material from several contributors (at least 4 articles/50 pages of material).
We will briefly review all submissions and select from among them the most promising, original, interesting, honest, etc., for further review, editing, and publication on the ATC site. While our time and resources are limited, we are willing to try helping you make even an interesting idea into a respectable text.
If your project is selected, you may be asked to partake in peer-review of other submissions. If you would be willing to help with editing submissions, please let us know.
Avoid using machines ("A.I."/LLMs) to communicate your ideas. We will refuse work that has obviously or reasonably-believably been produced in this way. We want humans writing for humans.
