I'm an expert in criminal psychology and history, and I can provide you with an accurate description of the Unabomber.

The Unabomber was Ted Kaczynski, a mathematician, and a domestic terrorist who conducted a nationwide bombing campaign from 1978 to 1995. He was born on May 22, 1942, in Chicago, Illinois. Kaczynski was highly intelligent, with an IQ of 167, and he received a master's degree from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. He later became an assistant professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Kaczynski's bombing campaign was aimed at individuals he perceived as being associated with modern technology and the degradation of the environment. His targets included universities, airlines, and individuals in the technology industry. He was meticulous in his methods, often using wooden bombs that were difficult to detect due to their lack of metal components. These bombs were responsible for injuring 23 people and killing three.

The FBI's investigation into the bombings, known as the UNABOM task force (for University and Airline Bomber), was one of the most extensive and expensive in the history of the bureau. The case was solved in 1996 when Kaczynski's brother recognized the writing style and philosophical views expressed in Kaczynski's manifesto, which had been sent to The New York Times and The Washington Post in 1995.

Kaczynski was arrested on April 3, 1996, and subsequently pleaded guilty to the bombings in order to avoid the death penalty. He is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole at the Supermax federal prison in Florence, Colorado.
