Ted Kaczynski, the man known as the Unabomber, died on June 10, 2023, at the age of 81. Kaczynski was a former mathematics professor who turned to terrorism in the late 1970s. He mailed or hand-delivered bombs to people he believed were advancing modern technology and the destruction of the natural environment. Over the course of 17 years, his bombs killed three people and injured 23 others.
Kaczynski was eventually captured in 1995 after his brother recognized his writing style in the Unabomber's manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Kaczynski's death marks the end of a dark chapter in American history. He was a complex figure who inspired both fear and fascination. His legacy will continue to be debated for years to come.
