Great Book
Uncle Ted is a great inspiration and an amazing influence on the youth. Together we can overthrow our globalist, technocratic overlords and be free once more.

Clean Cheap Informative
In regards to the quality of the book itself. I must say its up to standards while I think the cover is ugly I highly recommend this as a purchase for anyone interested with Ted Kaczynski

Caused Unparalleled Cognitive Dissonance
Going through a multinational mega-corporation to order a book on anarcho-primitivism was the first step in what was ultimately an extremely unusual journey.Opening a package dropped off to my door, and finding "by Ted Kaczynski" staring at me, was an interesting feeling to say the least. Turning pages in a pristinely manufactured pamphlet while reading about the horrors of industrialization felt unexpectedly powerful. Reading the Unabomber's railings against the new globalist economy, in a book printed in another country, left an impression I can't explain. And taking pictures of his speech against oversocialization to my social media accounts is nothing if not a statement to the powerlessness we have against the ever-advancing beast of industrialization.The Industrial Revolution and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race, but without it I'd never have this book.

More Thought Provoking Than I Expected
Kacynski writes in the third person and under the pseudonym FC (Freedom club) to, presumably, deceived the FBI into believing the manifesto is part of a larger organization and not just one man in a shack pounding away on his manual typewriter.Now that modern industrialized man has, by sheer routine, dealt with the basics of survival - food, water, shelter - he had become a lesser creature, perverted from his natural purpose. To that end he becomes wrapped up in the power process of modern industrial society- which is A) Identify goal, b) Make effort, C) Achieve goal. This process takes up most of our time, which we also supplement with surrogate activities.The surrogate activities are one which are set up merely for the sake of having a goal to work towards. These give the person a sense of achievement without actually getting something substantive from the exercise of effort. This is often mostly seen in people’s hobbies, people obsessed with video games, or any sort of collection of non-essential goods.Freedom is thus naturally suppressed by any industrialized system, since said system needs everyone involved to play their part as a cog. The only freedoms left untouched are the ones which don't matter. Religion, speech, entertainment types don't really matter as long as everyone goes to work the next day.In the struggle between technology and freedom, technology will always win because we quickly become dependent on that new technology. Freedom will always be taken away under the guise of altruistic means. Ie. for child protections, social justice, national security, etc.. Thus it is impossible to balance technology against the individual. And the answer is to stop trying and dismantle (or escape from) said society.This is an individualistic call rather than a plan of action for a movement. He is stating his beliefs in form, but seems to have little delusions that his actions will have much of an effect on the greater society. As for what he wanted, as the author himself points out, societies cannot be planned but evolve naturally like species. As such, he states the only escape from the freedom crushing weight of any industrial country is to retreat into a naturalistic state.

Édition quelquepeu imprecise
Je ne me prononce pas sur le contenu, qui es d ailleurs dispo un peu partout à télécharger gratuitement sous formats divers.Je voulais une version physique, hélas cette édition es bourré de fautes... Rien qui change vraiment le contenu, mais des fautes qui ne devraient pas exister tels que des pluriels qui manquent un "S" à la fin, des doublons tels que "for for",.. C est bien décevant s'agissant d un document qui es pas du tout récent et qui a l origine ne contient pas ce genre de fautes. Je pense qu en es en droit de s attendre à une reproduction fidèle.

Muy interesante y aplicable a dĂa de hoy
Escrito por una mente brillante (CI de 167) pero a la vez enferma. Lectura muy interesante para soñadores de un mundo mejor. Hace énfasis en ciertos términos que va repitiendo a menudo, pero comenta cosas que para ser de hace 30 años son perfectamente aplicables a la actualidad e incluso al futuro.Éste manifiesto no te cambiará la vida ni mucho menos, pero te hará al menos cuestionar ciertos puntos del sistema en que vivimos. Tiene toda la pinta de ser un buen aperitivo antes de empezar con "1984" de Orwell.
