Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, died on June 10, 2023, at the age of 81. Kaczynski was a mathematics prodigy who dropped out of graduate school in 1969 to live a solitary life in a remote cabin in Montana. From 1978 to 1995, he sent mail bombs to universities, airlines, and other targets, killing three people and injuring 23 others. Kaczynski was eventually tracked down by the FBI and pleaded guilty to his crimes in 1998. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Kaczynski's motives for his bombing campaign were complex and have been the subject of much debate. He claimed that he was trying to warn people about the dangers of technology and the industrial revolution. He also said that he was motivated by a desire to protect the environment.
Kaczynski's death marks the end of a dark chapter in American history. His legacy is likely to be debated for many years to come.
