The analogy in the title is very strained to start with, and by the time he throws in a Zork reference the metaphor totally collapses. Setting aside the rhetorical style, I think the main argument is pretty weak. People claiming Facebook has hidden motives aren't skeptical of technology; they're skeptical of Facebook. People raise issues about AI reinforcing bias, but in the cases I've seen those are mostly people who work in tech. Basically, I don't think the author establishes that people actually fear technology, and he doesn't really consider when technological skepticism is appropriate.
