Who was the Unabomber and what were his motivations?

The Unabomber, whose real name is Theodore Kaczynski, was a domestic terrorist who carried out a series of bombings in the United States between 1978 and 1995. His motivations can be traced back to his deep dissatisfaction with modern industrial society and its impact on nature, freedom, and individuality. His manifesto, entitled "Industrial Society and Its Future," outlined his critique of technological progress and called for a revolution against the system. Kaczynski believed that his acts of violence were necessary to awaken society to the dangers of industrialization and to prompt a societal change. His bombings targeted individuals associated with technology and academia, resulting in the deaths of three people and injuries to many others. In 1996, Kaczynski was apprehended and later sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
