Ted Kaczynski was a mathematics prodigy who attended Harvard University in 1958 at the age of 16. About 13 years later, he moved to a cabin he built in Montana. From this small shack, he constructed and sent 16 bombs over the course of 17 years, killing three people and injuring 23 more. He also wrote the majority of his 35,000 word so-called “Unabomber Manifesto.”
