Ted Kaczynski, the notorious Unabomber, died on June 10, 2023, at the age of 81. Kaczynski was a mathematics prodigy who abandoned his academic career in the 1960s to live a life of isolation in the woods.

He called for a revolution to overthrow industrial society and return to a simpler way of life.
Kaczynski's death marks the end of a dark chapter in American history. His crimes were horrific, but his ideas continue to resonate with some people. His legacy will be debated for years to come.
