Review: Anti-Tech Revolution: Why and How (ATR) is considered by many to be Kaczynski’s magnum opus. Written entirely during his incarceration, this piece is arguably the most important of all his works. Where “Industrial Society and Its Future” (ISAIF) was written to sway a world that worships technology, ATR was written with the hopes that the reader had already been freed from the siren-like myth of progress. As a consequence, Kaczynski is able to bypass lots of the basics and delve straight into the core message he had in mind. He tackles the hard-hitting truths, such as; why a society cannot be subject to rational human control (and why the path of a society cannot be predicted), the inevitability of collapse, the transformation of a society, and the path a revolutionary movement should take. Kaczynski also explores past revolutions, showing what made them work, what made them fail, and what we can learn from them. Whether you decide it’s his magnum opus or not, you can’t deny the depth and accuracy of this book, especially with the added difficulties of where he was writing from. Kaczynski opens with a brief evaluation on why it’s impossible to predict the path a society will take, and by extension, impossible to rationally control. He shows that each of many near infinite variables could be completely changed by even the slightest actions, which could have immense consequences and so on. This bears a striking resemblance to chaos theory and therefore has come under similar scrutiny to that of the opening segment of ISAIF (specifically the critique of leftist behaviour) for being largely irrelevant to the overall theme of the rest of the book. This claim is largely put forth by people who have not understood the book. The opening segment ties together later chapters, such as chapter four touching on the fallacy of pre-planning a revolutionary movement. The author concludes in ATR that modern technological society will inevitably collapse (and take with it most of the biosphere) if left to continue growing indefinitely although he doesn’t make guesses about when, he assures that it’s certain for a system infinitely growing, dependent on certain conditions and finite resources, struggling for power and dominion in the modern world-system. He coins the term “self-propagating system” to describe the aforementioned structure that promotes its own growth, out of short-term considerations at the expense of long-term health, as a fundamental attribute of all dynamic systems and organizations. In the case of industrial society, infinite technological growth becomes its downfall due to rapid, unpredictable and uncontrollable shifts in the conditions of the environment in which the process of competition among self-propagating systems (themselves dependent on the environment) takes place. Chapter three, introduces four “postulates” that logically lead to several rules that determine a revolutionary movement’s success (or failure). These postulates invoke themes and messages from ISAIF and Kaczynski’s first book, Technological Slavery (TS), such as tendencies of leftists (postulate three) and the essay titled “The Systems Neatest Trick” (postulate one, in a more abstract sense). In chapter four he goes over strategic guidelines of a revolutionary movement, stating that the path of revolution cannot be planned in advance, but is more effectively planned in accordance to the systems ebb and flow, reaching back to themes expressed in the first chapter. Here he expresses perhaps the two greatest takeaways of the book: firstly, a revolutionary movement should remain optimistic; secondly, meaningful progress in a revolution will be achieved by a minuscule but devout core of pragmatic and intelligent individuals united by a single, concrete goal. The author takes many examples of past revolutionary movements and shows how they achieved their goals, the tactics they used, and how the revolutionary movements themselves functioned. Learning from movements such as the “Arab Spring,” the IRA, the Bolshevik uprising and even as niche a phenomenon as the rise of Mexican gang dominance. Anti-Tech Revolution perfectly exemplifies the brilliance and pragmatism of Kaczynski, and whilst not the most well-known, its utility is undeniable. I could not recommend it more to those who found TS and ISAIF compelling. Though it’s quite different from his two prior published books, it’s incredibly insightful and well researched.
Review: amazing book, wish he was still around to write more. although, he was not a good person.

*by G***U on 26 July 2020*

The book contains excellent analysis on the dynamics of power between social structures and individuals (not unlike Foucault in some ways). He also utilizes a non-linear view of history which exposes it not as a progression of events towards an ultimate end, as in Hegel’s massively influential Dialectical model but instead as events which are connected in time, yet bring more truth to light when looked at as having common patterns of chaos and entropy. He reveals the uncontrollable nature of complex human systems (but especially Industrial society). There are many parallels between his views and classical anarchism as represented by thinkers such as Bakunin. Professor Kaczynski is not wrong in his analysis but every comment on his work must also reconcile the horrific violence that he set upon many people. Some may see him as a revolutionary but I see his life as a culmination of so many social issues. When his behaviors in reality are viewed from a psychological perspective, he seems to be a very disturbed man with many anti-social traits. As with many people who suffer from this disorder they are often a product of severe trauma, combined perhaps with a certain degree of genetic predisposition towards certain conditioned responses when under intense stress. The Professors life is a conundrum of academic brilliance and a descent into homicidal dysfunctionallity. I believe in many of the ideas espoused in his book, but I do not believe in violence for revolutionary means. For this reason, the Professor is still rightfully controversial. Truly a contradiction of moral and social problems. The book is well worth the read.
