LiegentThe Industrial Society and Its Future
Theodore John Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, depicts a dystopian future dominated by technology in his controversial manifesto. Having mailed bombs to dozens of targets over almost 20 years, Kaczynski was able to get his anti-technological manuscript printed in major newspapers by threatening more violence. He argues that industrialization has trapped modern society in a vicious cycle of inner powerlessness, depression and conformity. According to Kaczynski, this systemic loss of autonomy stems from the fundamental incompatibility between technological progress and human freedom. However, he offers a bold solution, calling for a worldwide anti-technological revolution to eliminate the system entirely. Will you engage with the radical vision of this infamous terrorist-turned-author?

Kaczynski's actions and manifesto sparked widespread debate about the impact of technology on society and the ethical boundaries of protest.
