TECHNOLOGICAL SLAVERY: The Collected Writings of Theodore J. Kaczynsky a.k.a. 'The UNABOMBER'
TECHNOLOGICAL SLAVERY: The Collected Writings of Theodore J. Kaczynsky a.k.a. "The UNABOMBER" Introduction by David Skrbina
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.”
Dr. David Skrbina, who teaches philosophy at the University of Michigan, Dearborn, provides fascinating excerpts from his correspondence with the man he calls “a revolutionary for our times.”
The UNABOMBER in his own words.
One day in 2005 at our bookshop (Unusual Books, Downtown L.A.) I received a letter from Ted Kaczynski - we corresponded briefly and I suggested he contact Feral House Books (where I also worked), that they may be interested in publishing some of his writing - a couple of years later - here are the results in book form.

THE REAL BLUEBEARD: The Life of Gilles de Rais By Jean Benedetti
THE REAL BLUEBEARD
The Life of Gilles de Rais
By Jean Benedetti
This gripping tale explores the life of Gilles de Rais with an authoritative grasp of the historical context surrounding the real life figure of this well-bred French soldier who once fought alongside Joan of Arc - he was later convicted of the sexual abuse, torture and murder of 140 children. He was hanged and burned, then his body was placed in an iron casket. What led this wealthy Marshal of France, owner of extensive lands and great houses, to turn to sorcery, sexual deviancy and horrific murders? This book investigates extensively the true story of the medieval Nobleman who practiced a secret life of black magic and debauchery unequaled in the annals of history.
