Ted Kaczynski’s Correspondence with Chris Black

January 5, 2010

Dear Mr. Black,

Yesterday I received the article by Mathew L. Wald with a note from yuo dated 12/18/09, and I also received your very interesting letter dated 12/17/09. Thank you very much for these things.

I will answer your letter in detail later. For now I will just answer one of your questions. You asked whether any of my new work had been published, and you asked where you needed to look for it.

A book of mine has been published under the title The Road to Revolution, and I’m told that you can order a copy of it from any of the Internet addresses listed at the top of this page....

Now, I want to ask you something. I think it is important for opponents of the technoindustrial system to communicate with each other so that they can cooperate for the purpose of practical action. Is it OK with you if I give your name and address to some other people I know, in the hope that you and they will correspond? There are some people whom I’ve known for years, and I know them to be trustworthy. I wouldn’t hesitate to give them your address or anyone else’s address. But there are other other people whom I’ve known for only a few months. I think they are trustworthy, but I can’t be 100% certain of this, because I haven’t known them long enough. So I wouldn’t give them your address without your permission. What do you say?

Dear Chris,

I’m sorry I haven’t been prompt to answer ...

... large sites. But when hundreds of little reactors are scattered everywhere, it’s dead certain sure that the waste from many of those reactors will be incometently, negligently, or dishonestly handled, and we can look forward eventually to a world in which radioactive contamination will be practically everywhere.

By the way, just to make sure there is no misunderstanding, I did not give your address to Michael J. Carroll. I did not say I trusted Carroll. I have corresponded with him for only a short time, so I hardly know him. So if you write to him, you write at your own risk. Not that there is much risk anyway. If you find out he’s a fool or a fake it may be annoying, but it won’t really do you any harm.

I hope the weather isn’t giving you too much trouble now, and that all is well with you in other respects.
