Frida Ghitis: Tech CEOs are moving sharply to the Right.
She says they have more in common than they might have expected a decade ago .
The Right must partner with sympathetic tech elites, Ghitis writes.
Ghitis says Ernst Jünger’s The Glass Bees is a meditation on the nature of technology and its relationship to mankind.
Jünger’s novel, The Iliad , is about the rise of artificial technology in the world of Zapparoni .
He says technology intensifies the disparity between the few who wield it and those who use it.
He fears that technology will lead to physical and moral dehumanization of the human.
Jünger 's warning is that to subject one’s judgment to the artificial, to trust in the unreal, is to crush conscience itself.
Richard , like us, struggles to sift the truth out of what surrounds him, he says.
Ultimately, despite a small rebellion, Richard succumbs and accepts a job in the factory.
