Richard Kaczynski

Richard Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber, is a former mathematics professor who became infamous for a nationwide bombing campaign from 1978 to 1995. He targeted individuals involved in modern technology and industrial society, sending mail bombs that killed three people and injured 23 others. Kaczynski's actions were driven by his belief that technological advancement and industrialization harm human freedom and the environment. He wrote a manifesto, "Industrial Society and Its Future," outlining his views, which drew attention to his anti-technology ideology. In 1996, he was arrested and subsequently sentenced to life in prison without parole.
