Theodore J. Kaczynski, aka

The Unabomber , isn't just America's

most infamous prisoner: he is a myth

in his own right. Throughout the years

he has become synonymous with mad

scientist turned murder maniac. But

there is much more to the Unabomber

than the letter bombs and the 17-year FBI

manhunt that ended in 1996 with his life imprisonment.

This book contains the first and definitive authorized edition

of Kaczynski's writings.

Long before his criminal endeavours, in the early 70s,

Kaczynski began to develop a visionary set of theories that

could be loosely branded as `radical ecology'. The most famous

of his writings, Industrial Society And Its Future , is published here

in its only authorized version, along with many other texts, essays

and letters. From his prison cell, Kaczynski sets on to demonstrate,

with painstaking detail, that technology is leading humanity to its

demise. The environmental catastrophe, in his views, is but a logical

consequence of man's scientific self-enslavement.

Calling for a total and final end to all technological research and

industries, Kaczynski takes the reader through a radically new way of

thinking about the now trendy battle for the environment.
