** Sort of. Fr. Ron, one of the characters the author intends us to sympathize with points out that he is not opposed to modern technology ''per se'', such as the polio vaccine, but we have to watch how it affects us as a society. O'Brien seems more interested in modern media and culture than modern technology.
Added DiffLines:
* NostalgiaAintLikeItUsedToBe: Subverted. Considering the author's conservative views, one would expect him to portray TheFifties, and anytime before, as some sort of golden age. Instead, he criticizes, among other things, the racism and ethnic bigotry, the internment camps for the Japanese, the materialism and lack of concern for the environment, the rumormongering and gossip, the lack of awareness of child abuse prevalent in previous times; he maintains that the problems our society faces now are really OlderThanTheyThink, and lurked beneath the surface in days gone by.
