PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Theodore Kaczynski, 15 years after his imprisonment for the Unabomber attacks, says he still thinks history vindicates his murderous anti-technology campaign.
"As long as modern technology continues to progress, there will be human-caused disasters of one kind or another," he wrote in a letter from prison reported by the Los Angeles Times, citing the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. "The greater the powers unleashed by technology, the bigger the disasters get."
Kaczynski is serving a life term for his letter bombings, which killed three people and wounded 23.
Adam Parfrey, who runs the Feral House small press, thought he had a point. Kaczynski has corresponded with him, among many others, from prison.
David Skrbina, a professor who also corresponds with Kaczynski, persuaded him to put together their letters, new essays and a revised version of his 1995 "manifesto" into a book. Much of the material was printed in Europe in 2008.
Parfrey is publishing it in the U.S. as "Technological Slavery." Neither Kaczynski nor Skrbina will get any money from the book; Feral House has pledged to share part of its proceeds with the American Red Cross.
