  If we ignore these benefits and choose to lash out at all technology we implicitly accept that the digital world is the exclusive domain of those who would use it to exploit us. Only after we accept that technology is going to be a fundamental part of our existence, that our future is a cyborg future, can we begin to imagine what a better world might look like.

Okay, if this is what you want to write about, this might be how. But you're stretching your evidence pretty tightly. Hikikomori are not a product of the Internet Age; shame culture's casualties can't be written off to technology, for example.

Writing about visions at the edge of rationality suits both William James and Nietzsche: it takes all kinds to make a world. But if "anarcho-primitivists" have something to offer us I don't think we can play it straight with them in order to find it. There's still no software in your Age of Software, and from my point of view that's still a significant drawback.
