  Ted Kaczynski : [from his manifesto]  You tell yourself that you're the ones in control. They obey you, your technology, your machines. But what would you do without your car, your telephone? What if all the airplanes just stopped? 10 years ago, computers were expensive toys. Today, civilization as we know would fall apart without them. You live in terror of a blackout, a computer crash, a car won't start, a phone doesn't ring. So you construct your lives, your whole society so that won't happen. Everything revolves around their needs, not yours. They buzz, you jump. They beep, you answer. So ask yourself Who's really in control? You or them?

• Ted Kaczynski : People want it so badly, they're dying by the thousands every day, just trying to salvage some of their humanity. Okay Think about this, more people have died from suicide in just the time we've been talking than I allegedly killed in my entire career. More people died from anti-depressants, plastic surgery, fast food. Why W-why is everybody so terrified of me? And ask yourself this question Why are these men in suits so desperate to prove that I'm crazy? I will tell you. It's because they know that I'm right. I'm awake. They're asleep.
