I watched a TV show about the Unabomber a while back that was really good. I remember one of the detectives investigating him became sympathetic after reading his manifesto. I don't think the Unabomber was as much anti-tech as he was against tech controlling our lives. A valid concern in the AI era.

I'll never forget the one scene where the detective was driving an empty road late at night and came up to a red light at an intersection where there was no other cars in sight. We have all had this experience. You can see that the detective was slowly realizing the Unabomber's point as he waited a long time for the piece of technology, that had complete control over him at that moment, to allow him to proceed.

I loved it too. It used to be on Netflix but they took it down.

The referenced TV show is likely the first season of Manhunt [1].
