 In a Wired article on the dangers of technology , titled " Why The Future Doesn 't Need Us , " Bill Joy , cofounder of Sun Microsystems , quoted Ray Kurzweil 's The Age of Spiritual Machines , which quoted a passage by Kaczynski on types of society that might develop if human labor were entirely replaced by artificial intelligence . Joy wrote that , although Kaczynski 's actions were " murderous , and , in my view , criminally insane " , that , " as difficult as it is for me to acknowledge , I saw some merit in the reasoning in this single passage . I felt compelled to confront it . "
