On: Neal Stephenson: Why I Am a Sociomediapath (2015)

I dont understand this comment, should he be using quill pen, or starting an oral history to be more of a luddite?

The point is that the parent thinks he's already established himself as a luddite by using so antiquated technology as dead trees.

The thing that rang the loudest (for me) from his comment was irony.

Sorry, not directly answering your question...

I am not suggesting he do anything to be more or less of a Luddite (IIRC, he uses a very nice fountain pen).
