Well, I think of all the historical moments when it might be reasonable to give a little technophobia a pass, 1937 probably ranks pretty high. E: to clarify, advances in military technology (machine guns, artillery, etc.) was supposed to make a European war unthinkable - instead, it practically just cut down a generation of young men, and then the Western world was immediately plunged into the sort of desperate poverty that industrial production was supposed to eliminate through unprecedented surplus. Watching these things result in the rise of fascism in Germany must have painted a very bleak picture of the 'progress' that Europeans had convinced themselves was inevitable.
