Amazon Kunde: I highly recommend the books written by Kaczynski. His literary works are thought-provoking, and his writing style is captivating. Whether delving into fiction or non-fiction, Kaczynski's books offer a unique perspective on various subjects.

One of his most renowned works is "Industrial Society and Its Future" where he explores the negative effects of industrialization and technological advancements on society. Kaczynski's well-researched arguments make readers question the price we pay for progress and the impact it has on our individual freedom.

In conclusion, Kaczynski's books are essential reads for those seeking unconventional perspectives on societal issues and exploring the impact of technology on our lives. His thought-provoking arguments challenge readers to critically examine our collective path and reevaluate the consequences of our actions. Whether you agree with him or not, Kaczynski's books promise to ignite intellectual curiosity and stimulate meaningful discussions.

Yamato XO: I was blown away by how accurately Ted Kazynski diagnosed out modern day societal issues. If the man had not been such a monster, his manifesto would point the way to a better future.

Matthew C.: An excellent book. I appreciate Ted's ability to bring to you many facts about today's societal problems in such a plain and simple way to understand them. The manifesto is an easy read that actually keeps you wanting more. Although Ted is correct, I don't agree with his logic or possibility of changing the system we live in. Unfortunately, technology does in many ways take away our freedoms, but to do away with it is just asinine. The end of the manifesto of leaves you hanging. The view point of what technology is doing to us is spot on, but his solutions were not even considerable. If you heard the term "Unabomber" as a child and seen news clips on it as a child or adult but want a better understanding of why it happened and what TED was thinking, this book will quench that questioning.

Daniel J. Mooney: Kacynski writes in the third person and under the pseudonym FC (Freedom club) to, presumably, deceived the FBI into believing the manifesto is part of a larger organization and not just one man in a shack pounding away on his manual typewriter.

Now that modern industrialized man has, by sheer routine, dealt with the basics of survival - food, water, shelter - he had become a lesser creature, perverted from his natural purpose. To that end he becomes wrapped up in the power process of modern industrial society- which is A) Identify goal, b) Make effort, C) Achieve goal. This process takes up most of our time, which we also supplement with surrogate activities.

The surrogate activities are one which are set up merely for the sake of having a goal to work towards. These give the person a sense of achievement without actually getting something substantive from the exercise of effort. This is often mostly seen in people’s hobbies, people obsessed with video games, or any sort of collection of non-essential goods.

Freedom is thus naturally suppressed by any industrialized system, since said system needs everyone involved to play their part as a cog. The only...
