{"product_id":"book-ht22","title":"The Unabomber Manifesto and Other Essays by Theodore Kaczynski","description":"\u003cp\u003eTheodore Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber, is a United States murderer, mathematician, and neo-Luddite social critic who carried out a campaign of mail bombings. He was born in Chicago, Illinois, where, as an intellectual child prodigy, he excelled academically from an early age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA considerable amount of credible circumstantial evidence suggests that Kaczynski was the unwitting victim of top secret CIA-sponsored 'MK-ULTRA' mind-control experiments conducted at Harvard University from the fall of 1959 through the spring of 1962. Some experts suggest that these experiments may have been the cause of his emotional problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKaczynski eventually received an undergraduate degree from Harvard University and earned a PhD in mathematics from the University of Michigan. He became an assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley at age 25 but resigned two years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1971, he moved to a remote cabin without electricity or running water, in Lincoln, Montana, where he began to learn survival skills in an attempt to become self-sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe decided to start his bombing campaign after watching the wilderness around his home get destroyed by development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom 1978 to 1995, Kaczynski sent 16 bombs to targets including universities and airlines, killing three people and injuring 23. Kaczynski sent a letter to The New York Times on April 24, 1995 and promised \"to desist from terrorism\" if the Times or The Washington Post published his manifesto. In his Industrial Society and Its Future (also called the \"Unabomber Manifesto\"), he argued that his bombings were extreme but necessary to attract attention to the erosion of human freedom necessitated by modern technologies requiring large-scale organization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eincluded in this volume:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Unnamed Essay\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-When Non-Violence is Suicide\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Hit Where It Hurts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Industrial Society and Its Future (aka The Unabomber Manifesto)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49409308786992,"sku":"BDht22","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/ht22-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773163056","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ht22","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
