Kirkpatrick Sale (born June 27, 1937) is an American author who has written prolifically about political decentralism, environmentalism, luddism and technology. He has been described as having a "philosophy unified by decentralism"[1] and as being "a leader of the Neo-Luddites,"[2] an "anti-globalization leftist,"[3] and "the theoretician for a new secessionist movement."[4]
