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’ve read most of his collections of letters and books and they are decent. I don’t like the ways he critiques leftism (but hey I’m a leftist so that’s to be expected). Apart from that, he has some interesting theories.
Also the cancer suicide makes more sense when you realise his father did the exact same thing.
For some reason your comment showed up to me initially as "Deleted by creator". Which was kinda hilariously apt.
How does one get access to said manifesto without immediately being put on an FBI watch list?
Bruh you're probably on a watchlist already for being on lemmy, live a little, google it with your VPN off.
You're on a list for asking that. Hell, you were probably already on a list for using a non-mainstream social media.
There's a lot of fucking lists, they're really more for adding on more crimes if you're ever arrested/charged with something rather than active surveillance if you ask me.
