The book in question. What was the intent or purpose of coming at this sideways?

This is a work written by the terrorist organization leader after incarcerated on 1999. While this carefully selected piece doesn't, the larger work of five volumes named "Manifesto of the Democratic Civilization" goes into the manifestation of his terrorist movement.

Very Kaczyynski like - the unabomber manifesto, in isolation, seems to be insightful and have a coherent grasp of reality and the implications of a deeply technological society, but in context of the author, is very dark and twisted; it picks and chooses the arguments so as to make the terrible conclusion all but inevitable.
