Is it OK to be a Luddite?

[David Morris]

I've just read it in response to your post, 

http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/pynchon_essays_luddite.html

and it does not strike me as any of your adjectives below, and this is not
because of an overriding Pynchon worship.  I think it is a good stab at
understanding the value of "escapist" reactions to overwealming
cultural/technological forces, AKA "The Machine."  I think it is also a
valuable key to understanding some Pynchon's own literary intentions.
