I would say that this essay is a good and thorough self analysis of how the author feels. It does seem to be connected to a larger work, so you might get your answer there, but I would just say that "technology is evil" is not the most important assertion here. Doesn't it seem to be more about what it means to think it is evil, however "emotional" the reasons are for thinking that? How to reckon with this force in any way considering its increasing implementation in everything around us?
In general, don't you at least think they say more than just "technology is evil"? Perhaps there is analysis to be made why you'd be so quick to dismiss a text that doesnt match one of your unemotional assumptions about the world! Because a lot of good thinking (and writing) comes from granting an assumption and seeing where that leads. Its never a failure of your unprejudiced intellect to connect with what a writer is actually saying, even if you don't agree with some belief of theirs.
