Eisenberg as Luthor: Interesting reflection of the world today

It makes me think of Ben Whishaw as the younger Q sort of at odds with the older Bond in Skyfall, and of course Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg. Anyone else find it interesting seeing the rise of this archetype of the young computer genius? I wonder what it is about brilliant young people in the field of technology that the writer/producers of Hollywood films nowadays find intimidating, or at the very least unnerving. Thoughts? Also, any other examples of this new archetype?
