The nickname newspapers and the FBI used for the man who, over about eighteen years from 1978, mailed or planted sixteen homemade bombs in the United States, killing three people and more than twenty. His targets were mostly people connected to universities and airlines, and he did it to protest against modern technology and industrial society. Because nobody knew who he was for so long, the case became one of the most famous manhunts in American history; he was finally identified in 1996 as Theodore Kaczynski, a former mathematics professor, after his recognised the writing style in a long anti-technology essay the newspapers had published. He was sent to prison for life in 1998. The word is a proper noun with a capital U, and it always takes the: the Unabomber. Outside crime writing you may meet it as a loose insult for someone who lives alone in a hut, refuses modern , or long angry manifestos — which is dark humour, and lands badly with people who remember the victims.
