Industrial Society and Its Future

Industrial Society and Its Future, also called the Unabomber Manifesto, is a 1995 essay by Ted Kaczynski. It argues that technology and the Industrial Revolution caused natural destruction and a social order that limits human freedom and potential. The roughly 35,000-word text provided the ideological foundation for Kaczynski's 1978 to 1995 mail bomb campaign. It was printed in The Washington Post in September 1995, helping lead to his identification.
