Unsung Heroes of Technological Societies – The Maintainers

Unsung Heroes of Technological Societies – The Maintainers

This conversation, featuring Lee Vinsel and Andy Russell, explored the important ways in which Long Now Boston’s commitment to long-term thinking synchronizes with the Maintenance Mindset being promoted by Andy, Lee and The Maintainers to keep things working

The Maintainers movement was founded by Lee Vinsel and Andrew Russell in 2014 – 2015, as a joke about the hyper focus on tech innovators.  But without the “Bureaucrats, Standards Engineers, and Introverts” that make things run, that revolution would never have gotten off the ground.  So they wrote “The Innovation Delusion” (2020), and founded a global non-profit dedicated to maintenance, infrastructure, repair, and the labor and expertise that sustains our human-built world.
