From my blog, "But this doesn't pass muster. Firstly, Kaczynski's ideas aren't original; richer arguments are found in Jacque Ellul and Lewis Mumford, both influential philosophers of technology. And secondly, as Skrbina rightly claims, Kaczynski's arguments are independent and self-sufficient, so teaching them as "the Unabomber's" is superfluous and unnecessary. Skrbina is feeding off Kaczynski's cult of personality for the sake of melodrama and controversy."
