Theodore "Ted" Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber, died last week, at the age of 81.
The Harvard-educated mathematician who retreated to a dingy shack in the Montana wilderness and ran a 17-year bombing campaign that killed three people and injured 23 others, was branded the "Unabomber" by the FBI. The search lasted for years, in nation's longest, costliest manhunt.
He admitted committing 16 bombings from 1978 and 1995, permanently maiming several of his victims. He forced The Washington Post, in conjunction with The New York Times, to make the agonising decision in September 1995 to publish his 35,000-word manifesto, "Industrial Society and Its Future," which claimed modern society and technology was leading to a sense of powerlessness and alienation.
In this 1995 story on #60Mins, reporter Tracey Curro looks at this one man's war on the computer age and his campaign of terror that has killed three people and injured another 26.
