n this explosive episode of Unlawful Acts, we examine the chilling manifesto, secret life, and deadly crimes of Ted Kaczynski—the Harvard-educated mathematics genius who became one of America’s most infamous domestic terrorists, known to the world as The Unabomber.

From a remote Montana cabin, Kaczynski mailed homemade bombs to universities, airlines, and tech leaders—killing three and injuring dozens over a 17-year campaign against modern society. His writings warned of the dangers of industrialization and technological control—but his method of delivery was destruction.

We trace Kaczynski’s early brilliance, his descent into radicalization, and the FBI's years-long manhunt that ended with one of the most important forensic breakthroughs in history: linguistic profiling.

This is the story of a mind at war—with society, with progress, and ultimately, with itself.
