On the book review platform Goodreads, it showed someone named Luigi Mangione read several books on dealing with back pain, including “Back in Control: A Spine Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain” and “Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection.”
On the GoodReads page, that person left a detailed 4-star book review in January for “Industrial Society and Its Future” by Theodore John Kaczynski, the mail bomber commonly known as the Unabomber. Mangione wrote that it is too easy to write off the book “as the manifesto of a lunatic.”
“He was a violent individual — rightfully imprisoned — who maimed innocent people. While these actions tend to be characterized as those of a crazy luddite, however, they are more accurately seen as those of an extreme political revolutionary,” Mangione wrote.
