This is the Guardian.

Today, what's behind the lingering fascination with the Unibobber and his dangerous ideas?

On the 10th of June, Ted Kaczynski, known to the world as the Uniboma, died by suicide in his prison cell in the US state of North Carolina.

Kaczynski, who was 81, terrorized Americans for nearly two decades, sending 16 bombs that caused terrible injuries and killed three people.

And a couple of days ago, I called up one of his victims, a guy called Gary Wright, who, in 1987, owned a computer store,

and one morning in February, drove into the parking lot, and saw what looked like debris, pieces of wood stuck together with nails sticking out, sitting on the road.

It was two by four, so basically four by four pieces of wood.

And Gary picked it up, and he heard something click.

The next thing he remembers, he was still standing, but had been blown backwards nearly 22 feet.

It hit me so hard in the chest, it probably just lifted me up and back, and you're just going, okay, that's a lot of force, right?

And he was badly injured.

So I ended up with about 200 pieces of shrapnel removed from my body, so I severed my owner nerve.

Injuries that he carried with him for more than a decade.

So lots of metallic debris, but also organic, because there was wood, and the organic, they can't see on an X-ray.

So that stuff would come out for years, I mean, you know, whether it was in my face or whatever,

little pieces of the debris I'd take out for a long time.

You'd be like shaving or washing your face.

Oh yeah, I'd catch something that felt like a whisker, but I'd grab some tweezers, it'd be like a half-inch piece of wood embedded in there, you know.

So yeah, that part, the injury part, lots in the mouth, so 12 surgeries, roughly a dozen surgeries.

For the next eight years, Gary was left wondering, why him?

Why did this bomber, this guy he assumed he'd never even met, hate him so much?

Why did he do this?
