I find Jünger a fascinating person. A WW1 stormtrooper and militarist who later wrote prescient sci-fi and took LSD with Albert Hoffman.

In the documentary "102 years in the heart of Europe"[0] Jünger was asked what he thought of computers. He said they were uninteresting, and compared them unfavourably to "intoxicants" by which he meant psychedelic drugs.
