Quick intro - About a cool guy, I found about him recently
Disclaimer - The blog would've come out earlier but I was busy with my immigration and visa stuff. So here it is.
Uncle Ted (Theodore J. Kaczynski), I came to know about him when he was dead recently (June 10 '23) in prison. First to tell you who he was; Ted Kaczynski was a twisted genius who aspired to be the perfect, anonymous killer—who built untraceable bombs and delivered them to random targets, who left false clues to throw off authorities, who lived like a recluse in the mountains of Montana and told no one of his secret crimes.
I read his book "The Industrial Soceity and its future". It was an awesome manifesto of how the technology would make the man kind suffer without us realising it. I dug a bit deeper and came to know he was a Mathematician (genius) turned serial bomber. He lived in a small wooden cabin in the remote mountains of Montana with a motive to just get away from the system's dominance on human lives. He had no electricity, internet nothing.

Now about the book, most of us can actually relate to the views he's presenting in the manifesto that he asked the FBI to publish on his behalf. It's an interesting read. I recommened you read it. Click here to download.
I'd just like to say, Rest in Peace Ted. Although I won't defend everything he did, he was a hero overall.
