Ted Kaczynski, a domestic terrorist known as the Unabomber, had his 35,000-word anti-technology manifesto published on this day in 1995 by The New York Times and The Washington Post.

Kaczynski was a math prodigy and entered Harvard at the age of 16. While working towards a BA in math he participated in a Harvard psychology study that attempted to understand how to manipulate one’s psyche.

The study was led by Henry Murray, a former U.S. intelligence employee. Some have suggested that Murray was working with or under the CIA’s MKUltra program. This program tested procedures and drugs to lower individuals’ defenses during interrogation and brainwashing.
