This is a reasonable guess. However, I haven't heard about Kaczynski
lately, while the Luddites have been quite active in recent years. The
cause and effect may be backwards from what you suggest. The stronger
neo-Luddite movement have created a new market for Kaczynski's
ramblings. In other words, I think you give the man too much credit.
Another guess would be that advancing technology is scaring people all
over.
