Kaczynski, Theodore

Kaczynski, Theodore
known as the Unabomber

born May 22, 1942, Evergreen Park, Ill., U.S.

U.S. criminal.

He attended Harvard University and earned a doctorate in mathematics from the University of Michigan. He taught at the University of California-Berkeley (1967–69) then abruptly left for rural Montana, where he lived in a tiny, isolated shack. Over a period of 17 years, he sent mail bombs to people he perceived as enemies of humanity, most of them professors and researchers in science and technology, killing 3 people and injuring 23. His manifesto excoriating industrial society was published widely in 1995. Arrested in 1996 on a tip from his younger brother, he was sentenced to life in prison.
