    From his Wikipedia page

    In 2012, Kaczynski responded to the Harvard Alumni Association’s directory inquiry for the fiftieth reunion of the class of 1962; he listed his occupation as “prisoner” and eight life sentences as “awards”.

    lol

    We had to read his manifesto for a polisci class.

    Uncomfortably prescient in many ways, esp. related to technology… But also still full of wingnut BS about other stuff. Worth a read, though, if you’re bored

      He continued writing and publishing until at least as recently as the second edition of Anti-Tech Revolution: Why and How in 2020 and the most recent edition of Technological Slavery in 2022–he committed suicide after stopping cancer treatments in 2023. His books have actually received some positive academic reviews. I haven’t read them, but I’ve read the reviews.

      How does one get access to said manifesto without immediately being put on an FBI watch list?

    I have conflicting feelings about him, because in many things, I realize today that he was right. More about technologies imho.
