According to wikipedia

“It’s not that Kaczynski, who is a fierce, uncompromising critic of the techno-industrial system, is saying anything I haven’t heard before. I’ve heard it all before, many times. By his own admission, his arguments are not new. But the clarity with which he makes them, and his refusal to obfuscate, are refreshing. […] Maybe it’s what scientists call ‘confirmation bias’, but I’m finding it hard to muster good counter-arguments to any of them, even the last. I say ‘worryingly’ because I do not want to end up agreeing with Kaczynski.”

modern Neo-Luddites are more likely to “confine their resistance…to a kind of intellectual and political resistance.” The manifesto of the 'Second Luddite Congress' specifically rejects –Neo-Luddism

“What are you? The answer, Determined – he will say, What for? Your answer, Free Liberty”

“Precarious as this moment may be, however, an awareness of the fragility of what we call civilisation is nothing new.”

“We the biopunks are dedicated to putting the tools of scientific investigation into the hands of anyone who wants them. We are building an infrastructure of methodology, of communication, of automation, and of publicly available knowledge.”
