Yes, that's fair. I'm going off of a fuzzy recollection, I haven't seen it in nearly a decade (and I was much more techno-utopian myself at the time; I remember feeling conflicted). Setting aside the broader critiques of capitalism and materialism, I think the crux of the matter is that technology can only ever be a tool, and seldom represents an automatic win for humanist values on its own (and indeed, it can just as easily be co-opted by authoritarian governments, monopolistic corporations, ideologues, etc).
