Have anyone of you read ted kaczynski/the unabomber's manifesto "Industrial society and its future"?
If so what do you think of it?
I personally believe that while his methods of rebellion did more harm than good, his thesis in itself carries much truth. I at least see this from a personal perspective relating to my dependence on technology ever since I was a child.
Yet I also believe that despite how accurate his critique of industrial society is, there's simply no hope for any meaningful change. Today's technology is only getting worse, you can't think of the modern man without his digital machines that keep him preoccupied all day, I guess Ted's fear of people adjusting to this new way of life, by becoming docile cogs, is becoming a reality.
