Summary

Theodore J. Kaczynski attended Harvard University, received a PhD in mathematics from the University of Michigan, taught at the University of California, Berkeley, and then moved to Montana where he attempted to live a self-sufficient life. Called a "domestic terrorist" and the "Unabomber" by the FBI, Kaczynski was convicted for illegally mailing bombs, resulting in the deaths of three people and the injury of 23 others. He now serves a life sentence in the supermax prison in Florence, Colorado. The ideas and views expressed by Kaczynski before and after his capture raise crucial issues concerning the evolution and future of our society. For the first time, the reader will have access to an uncensored personal account of his anti-technology philosophy, which goes far beyond Unabomber pop culture mythology. Included is a corrected edition of the "Unabomber Manifesto," and Kaczynski's critique of Anarcho-primitivism, and essays regarding "The Coming Revolution."
