`Unabomber' Ted Kaczynski Found Dead In Prison Cell

Ted Kaczynski, known as the Unabomber, was found dead Saturday in federal
prison at age 81, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Kaczynski became one of America's most infamous criminals after killing
three people and wounding 23 more in a series of bombings between 1978 and
1995. Kaczynski was a self-proclaimed environmentalist who targeted
individuals he believed to be responsible for technological advancement.

Kaczynski was found dead in his cell Saturday morning at the federal
prison medical center in Butner, North Carolina, according to The
Associated Press. He had previously been held in a Colorado federal
supermax prison since the late 1990s, but was transferred to the medical
center recently.

Dubbed the Unabomber by the FBI, Kaczynski perpetrated a series of
bombings targeted at academics and individuals who he deemed complicit in
the negative effects of technology on society, including a timber industry
representative and a computer shop owner.

His manifesto, "Industrial Society and Its Future," attempted to diagnose
the negative effects of technological advancement on human society and the
human individual himself, arguing that rapid technological progress had
alienated man from basic human necessities. The Washington Post published
the book after Kaczynski said he would end his bombing campaign if they
did so.

NEW: Ted Kaczynski known as the Unabomber died in his prison cell this
morning, according to a BOP spokesperson.

Kaczynski had been serving four life sentence without the possibility of
parole, and was arrested in 1996 arrest at a cabin in rural Montana, where
he had been living. He pleaded guilty to perpetrating 16 explosions.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

Thanks for the link.

I don't approve of what this guy did, but you have to give it to him that recent technological advances have destroyed interpersonal relationships, so he wasn't too off the mark there.

He did have a good point but he was batshit crazy in the way he expressed his ideas. Modern tech, in my opinion, has done more harm than good in many ways unfortunately.

It was hoped when ARPANET was declassified into the Internet that it would make the world smarter. I think the world is full of educated idiots now.

Indeed. We may be to the point now that the damage is not reversable.

The Iberian Penninsula was taken by muslim forces until the only natives that remained free fitted a cave system in a remote mountain. A few centuries later the natives kicked the moors out of the Penninsula. Massive damage can be repaired; it just takes a couple of centuries.

I was not familiar with the cave system part of the story, but I am
somewhat familiar with the islamic occupation of Iberia. Let's hope it
does not come to something like that. :)
