Technological Slavery
Theodore Kaczynski saw violent collapse as the only way to bring down the techno-industrial system, and in more than a decade of mail bomb terror he killed three people and injured 23 others. One does not need to support the actions that landed Kaczynski in supermax prison to see the value of his essays disabusing the notion of heroic technology while revealing the manner in which it is destroying the planet. For the first time, readers will have an uncensored personal account of his anti-technology philosophy, including a corrected version of the notorious ''Unabomber Manifesto,''Kaczynski, s critique of anarcho-primitivism, and essays regarding ''the Coming Revolution.''

- What's the relation between the two? Kaczynski's ideas are pretty much correct. See the book Technological Slavery: https://ia800207.us.archive.org/16/items/tk-Technological-Sl...
- Congratulations. Next step is to ask "Was modern technology ever a good idea?". You can start with the book Technological Slavery by Ted Kaczynski: https://ia800207.us.archive.org/16/items/tk-Technological-Sl...
- Holding back the humanity from what? Technological progress?
I encourage every technophile to read Technological Slavery by Dr. David Skrbina: https://ia800300.us.archive.org/21/items/tk-Technological-Sl...
- That power accumulation is inevitable when modern technology is used by humans, or aliens, or AI, or anything with the instinct of survival and self-replication, argues anti-technologist Ted Kaczynski. See the book Technological Slavery, free on internet archive.
- Read his manifesto, they’re detailed. I was shocked for a straight week when I read it, I couldn’t believe I have been lied to my entire life. Or better yet his book Technological Slavery: https://archive.org/details/tk-Technological-Slavery
- My life plan has in fact changed to living in the woods after I read his manifesto and his book Technological Slavery: https://archive.org/details/tk-Technological-Slavery.
I don’t think he had just some “good points”, I think he’s completely right on the matter that modern (post steam engine & guns) technology is harmful for human life.
