i am sure this idea has been discussed before but i wanted to make a thread here. in lotr, the way he refers to saruman's operations as a bunch of iron, smoke, and wheels gives the impression that technological industry is evil. also saruman tries to persuade gandalf to join him by offering order, power, and knowledge.
