Because he was right to a certain extent. Humans were not biological evolved for the things we are subjecting them to with Technology.

The problem is Ted turned into a guy that sends bombs to peoples homes.

>F. One of the most serious mistakes that people make in thinking about the development of societies is to assume that human beings make collective decisions of their own free will and can impose those decisions on their society, as ifhuman volition were something existing outside of the organizational structures of society and capable of acting independently of those structures. In reality, human volition is to a very significant extent a product of the organizational structures of society, for one of the most important factors that determine the success of an organization is its capacity for people-management; that is, its ability to induce people to think and act in ways that serve the needs of the organization. Some techniques of people-management may be described as "external," meaning that they are used to influence the thought and behavior of people who are not members of the organization that applies the techniques.

>External techniques include, among others, those of propaganda and public relations. Propaganda and public relations techniques can also be applied internally, to manage the behavior of the members of the organization that applies the techniques; and other techniques are designed specifically for internal use. Business schools give courses in a subject called "Organizational Behavior," which is, in part, the study of techniques through which an organization can manage the behavior of its own members.46 Also important are techniques for selecting individuals who are suited to become members of a given organization.

Not many books go into this topic but The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt and The Tyranny of Guilt by Pascal Bruckner are quite close.

>Kaczynski also appeared to hung up on being a virgin — something that caused friction between him and his brother David when the latter became engaged to a woman named Linda Patrik. An irate Kaczynski felt betrayed.
>“He even wrote a letter to David talking about how they were both virgins, intimating that by getting married, David was breaking that bond,” Puckett said in "Hunting The Unabomber."

Ted deserves your attention. But be aware that after him you are going to despise every movement, left and right, that does not advocate for the collapse of the techno industrial complex.
To be truly anti-capitalist is to reject progress through indirect production and the resulting alienation. We are not here to tame capitalism but to end it. This means that marxists that dream about post scarcity are going to be our enemies. Every neocon and neoliberal too. If you are a technophile you support this complex and you are his enemy. He is a neo-ludite and that should not be used as an insult.
