The road to revolution

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.
