    What got left out was the fundamental disenchantment with technology

I don't think disenchantment is the right word. It wouldn't have been very interesting if it had been just been "technology is scary, also get of my lawn." It was more ambivalence. Technology as a mechanism for corporate dominance and alienation on the one hand, technology is a mechanism for liberation on the other. I mean, Neuromancer had space Rastafarians.
