'''Theodore John Kaczynski''' (May 22, 1942), also known as '''the Unabomber''' , | '''Theodore John Kaczynski''' (May 22, 1942 - June 10, 2023), also known as '''the Unabomber''' , was an American domestic terrorist, anarcho-primitivist author, and former mathematics professor. He was a mathematics prodigy, but he abandoned an academic career in 1969 to pursue a primitive lifestyle. Between 1978 and 1995, he killed three people and injured 23 others in an attempt to start a revolution by conducting a nationwide bombing campaign targeting people involved with modern technology. In conjunction with this effort, he issued a social critique opposing industrialization while advocating a nature-centered form of anarchism. | ||

FBI agents arrested Kaczynski on April 3, 1996, at his cabin, where he was found in an unkempt state. A search of his cabin revealed a cache of bomb components, 40,000 hand-written journal pages that included bomb-making experiments, descriptions of the Unabomber crimes and one live bomb, ready for mailing. They also found what appeared to be the original typed manuscript of ''Industrial Society and Its Future''. By this point, the Unabomber had been the target of the most expensive investigation in FBI history. | FBI agents arrested Kaczynski on April 3, 1996, at his cabin, where he was found in an unkempt state.

After his arrest, Kaczynski tried unsuccessfully to dismiss his court-appointed lawyers because they wanted him to plead insanity in order to avoid the death penalty, as he did not believe that he was insane. In 1998, a plea bargain was reached under which he pleaded guilty to all charges and was sentenced to eight life sentences without the possibility of parole. He has been imprisoned at ADX Florence, a supermax prison in Florence, Colorado. In December 2021, the 79 year old Kaczynski was transferred to the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina. | After his arrest, Kaczynski tried unsuccessfully to dismiss his court-appointed lawyers because they wanted him to plead insanity in order to avoid the death penalty, as he did not believe that he was insane.
