For 17 years, the Unabomber (real name Theodore Kaczynski, 1942-2023), dubbed "America's most feared criminal," terrorized the United States by mailing bombs, mining industrialists' offices, and blowing up laboratories. A million-dollar reward was set for his capture. Between May 1978 and 1995, 16 bombings were carried out, killing 3 and injuring 23. In the summer of 1995, the Unabomber offered The New York Times an end to terror in exchange for the publication of his manifesto. The publisher of Penthouse begged Kaczynski to print the manifesto in his magazine, but the text came out as a separate book. Kaczynski's ideas quickly found supporters, mainly among the very technical intelligentsia they were directed against.
"Industrial Society and Its Future" is dryly and persuasively written. Criticism of leftist thought, political correctness, and humanism is interspersed with apocalyptic predictions about the future of a man-made civilization. Former professors remembered Kaczynski as an extremely gifted student. But after leaving his position as professor of mathematics at UC Berkeley, the Unabomber settled into a cabin in the woods, without bathroom or toilet. The publication of his book and subsequent arrest did more for the primitivist movement than all the propagandists combined. The modern history of primitivism should be traced back to the publication of Unabomber's Industrial Society.
