@charliejane Today I learned "Luddite" referred to a distinct character!

"The Luddites weren’t merely science fictional, either. They took their name from King Ludd, or Captain (or General!) Ludd, a mythological titan who supposedly led their shadow army. The Luddites spun tall tales about this leader and signed his name to letters to the newspapers and to factory owners."
