The Industrial Society and its Future was one of the more interesting forbidden texts I have read in the class so far. I am a fan of tru crime documentaries and podcasts, so going into the topic I had already seen something on Netflix about a year ago that gives some background information. Even then reading the texts itself was odd. It provides a view on the dangers of a technological world, that are somewhat correct. Looking at where we are today, Kaczynski wasn’t wrong when he predicted how our society would become so dependent on technology that it is now irreversible.
I intend to make the psychology behind the Unabomber my final research topic so having done some research, the level of intelligence he has in connection to what he believes is weird to see. Even today, from prison he still advocates for what he believes in, commending green anarchists and even publishing a second book.
