About Ted Kaczynski in brief

Summary Ted KaczynskiTheodore John Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber, is an American domestic terrorist, anarchist, and former mathematics professor. He was a mathematics prodigy, but he abandoned his academic career in 1969 to pursue a more 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 1998, a plea bargain was reached under which he pleaded guilty to all charges and was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. He is the subject of the longest and most expensive investigation in the history of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI and Attorney General Janet Reno pushed for the publication of Industrial Society and Its Future, which occurred in the Washington Post in September 1995. After his arrest in 1996, he tried unsuccessfully to dismiss his court-appointed lawyers because they wanted him to plead insanity in order to avoid the death penalty, whereas he did not believe that he was insane. In 1996, a former classmate said: “He was never really seen as an outsider… He was always regarded as a walking brain, so to speak.’” The FBI used the case identifier UNABOM to refer to his case, which resulted in the media naming him the “Unabombers’” The FBI has never been able to find a motive for the bombings and has no plans to do so in the near future.
