We had to read his manifesto for a polisci class.
Uncomfortably prescient in many ways, esp. related to technology… But also still full of wingnut BS about other stuff. Worth a read, though, if you’re bored
He continued writing and publishing until at least as recently as the second edition of Anti-Tech Revolution: Why and How in 2020 and the most recent edition of Technological Slavery in 2022–he committed suicide after stopping cancer treatments in 2023. His books have actually received some positive academic reviews. I haven’t read them, but I’ve read the reviews.
I have conflicting feelings about him, because in many things, I realize today that he was right. More about technologies imho.
The fact that he did wrong things (bombings) doesn’t invalidate the things he was right about (how humans are using technology is destroying the environment) .
He also didn’t choose particularly good targets to accomplish his goal.
Exactly
