The Unabomber Manifesto

The Unabomber Manifesto, officially titled "Industrial Society and Its Future," is a lengthy document written by Ted Kaczynski. In it, he criticizes modern technological society, arguing that industrialization and technological advances have eroded personal freedom, increased control, and caused psychological harm. He advocates for a revolutionary overthrow of these systems to restore human autonomy. Kaczynski famously carried out a 17-year bombing campaign targeting individuals involved with technology or industry, believing violence was necessary to draw attention to his views. The manifesto remains controversial for its critique of progress, mindfulness of societal impact, and connection to acts of domestic terrorism.
