The first serious injury occured in 1985, when a Berkeley graduate student lost four fingers and vision in one eye. The bombs were all hand crafted and carried the inscription "FC", which was later found to mean "Freedom Club". A Californian computer store owner was killed by a nail and splinter loaded bomb lying in his parking lot in 1985. A similar attack against a computer store occured in 1987.

After a six-year break, Kaczynski struck again in 1993, mailing a bomb to [David Gelernter]?, a computer science professor at Yale and developer of the [Linda distributed programming system]?. Gelernter has written a book on the subject called: "Drawing Life : Surviving the Unabomber". Another bomb in the same year maimed the geneticist Charles Epstein. Kaczynski wrote a letter to the New York Times claiming that his "anarchist group" called FC is responsible for the attacks.

Industrial Society And Its Future, a lengthy neo-luddite tract outlining the supposed evils of technological society and progress, is a biased and unprofessionally-written document. Its main argument is that progress can be stopped and in fact should be stopped in order to free people from the unnatural demands of technology, so that they can return to a happier, simpler life close to nature.

The paper is by no means out of sync with the ideas of the contemporary anti-technological movement. If not for the stigma attached to its author's criminal activities, it might be more widely used as a source. Indeed, Bill Joy, cofounder of Sun Microsystems, quoted it in his April 2000 Wired magazine article on the dangers of technology, "Why The Future Doesn't Need Us."
