yes absolutely.

his ideas are original in many areas and re-articulations of age-old ideas in others. The central point is the autonomy of technology: the idea that societies evolve organically like organisms in biology, and their evolution is beyond prediction and control. when increasing means is added to this mix (i.e. technology), the results are disastrous both to human freedom and to the integrity of the biosphere. so, it is about technology itself, not its mis-use.

I think they are absolutely right. But you have to have some--around a college level I think--understanding of history and you have to learn to reason clearly. If your only education has been average public school and college humanities then your brain has probably been so perverted and your thinking ability so retarded that it will be much harder. but if you and your family worked hard to educate you in critical thinking and your reasonably intelligent, then it's no problem.

similar books: "The Technological Society" by Jacques Ellul is the closest, but it's all very depressing. It's not focused on doing anything about the situation, only expressing in elegant prose the problem of modern life and the autonomy of technology.

You really should be doing a deep dive into anthropology books after Kaczynski to reevaluate primitive life.

Everyone should read the manifesto. It’s a great polemic on modern society. Almost everything he says is true to some degree. Much of what he says is not only the truth, but also wildly entertaining , like the stuff about leftists.

>Should i read him?
yes
>what are his ideas?
that industrial society and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
>are they right?
He predicts a disastrous outcome by the advancement of tech with coherent and rational arguments. Ig he is right is for you to decide, either way it is a highly philosophically interesting view on tech.
