Were the Unabomber’s Predictions About Technology Correct?
He makes some good points
In case you haven’t been keeping up with radical domestic terrorist history, the Unabomber was sort of a big deal back in the day. He sent bombs through the mail to various targets in big tech, media, and advertising for over 17 years, killing 3 people and injuring 23.
Finding the Unabomber, who was later revealed to be Ph.D. Harvard educated genius Ted Kaczynski, became the FBI’s longest, most expensive manhunt ever.
So, why are we talking about this murdering piece of shit?
Because before Kaczynski was caught in 1996, he released his “manifesto” which perfectly predicts the future we inhabit, and perhaps beyond.
It’s even been compared to 1984 and Brave New World.
“The Unabomber Manifesto is a carefully reasoned, artfully written paper… If it is the work of a madman then the writings of many political philosophers — Jean Jacques Rousseau, Tom Paine, Karl Marx — are scarcely more sane.” — UCLA professor James Q. Wilson
