I'd inquire then as to what you've surmised anti-tech folks' hypothetical ecostasis looks like, because for all I've read of Kaczynski at least, he argues frequently to the point of the non-essentiality in tech development to human coexistence with nature.
David Skrbina, author to the introduction of the published collected writings, and frequent ally of Ted's, writes similarly about the vast majority of our existence which succeeded without any more technology than wielded stones and sticks (Technological Slavery, 18). (I've even seen defenses of primitivist ideology online by the claim that intelligence is a trait selected for only by chance, and not inevitable or unique to the potential of the human creature.) Ted also wrote an entire essay debunking common pop-primitivist myths about the ease of primitive lifestyle, only to claim that it still is a more optimal state than ours now- that happiness and fulfillment are possible even in populated climates which border on the remote ends of what's hospitable- suggesting they are summoned by something within the human spirit rather than without (Technological Slavery, 287-288). His latest too begins with the Jefferson quote "Were there but an Adam and an Eve left in every continent, and left free, it would be better than it now is," evoking a consistent sentiment. But you'd know this, had you read either of those.
