From Wondery, I'm Lindsay Graham and this is American Scandal.

Today we wrap up our series on the Unibomber.

Between 1978 and 1995, Ted Kaczynski led a campaign to stop the advance of modern technology.

Kaczynski was a former math professor and as an undergratted Harvard, his life was profoundly changed after he took part in a brutal psychological experiment.

Kaczynski was left bitter and bent on getting revenge at scientists and those he believed were advancing technology.

So he began mailing and planting bombs across the country.

This campaign would kill three people and injure many more.

He was known by the FBI as the Unibomber and the manhunt to find him lasted nearly two decades.

It would become the longest and most expensive case in FBI history.

The publication of Kaczynski's manifesto in 1995 led to a break in the case when Kaczynski's brother David noticed similarities between the manifesto and his brother's letters.

Soon agents arrested Kaczynski in his cabin in rural Montana.

The Unibomber case was a milestone for the FBI, but Kaczynski also had a large influence across American culture.

His manifesto, titled Industrial Society and Its Future, featured a scathing critique of science and technology.

Kaczynski argued that industrial life was destroying the human spirit and the planet.

It was an argument that gained traction with a variety of movements including radical environmentalists and those who reject civilization.

Today I'm speaking with John H. Richardson, a journalist and author who's written about those movements.

While working on a story about environmental activists, he also began exchanging letters with Ted Kaczynski himself.

We'll talk about Kaczynski, his vision of a perfect world and how his message might still resonate today. That's next.

13 years ago in one of the cramped dorm rooms of prestigious Sarah Lawrence College, a nightmare unfolded.

The students didn't know it yet, but when a bizarre new roommate moved in, he would change their lives forever.

Devil in the dorm, an exclusive new podcast on Wondery Plus, dives into the horrifying story of Larry Ray, who moved into the dorms with his daughter.
