Graphic novel adaptation by Valentín Ramón (D4ve, Dead Kings Have no Dreams ) of the 1995 essay "Industrial Society and Its Future" by Theodore John (Ted) Kaczynski better known as the Unabomber Manifesto, contending that modern technological progress will extinguish individual liberties.

The "Unabomber Manifesto" was originally printed in the Washington Post and The New York Times print supplements by a form of blackmail, that Kaczynski would end his 1978–1995 Unabomb mail bomb campaign if the essay went to print.

While Kaczynski's violence was generally condemned, his manifesto expressed ideas that continue to be commonly shared among the American public. A 2017 Rolling Stone article stated that Kaczynski was an early adopter of the concept that:

"We give up a piece of ourselves whenever we adjust to conform to society's standards. That, and we're too plugged in. We're letting technology take over our lives, willingly."

Mixing a wide range of graphic and narrative styles, it moves back and forth between a realistic drawing style and a TV cartoon; and from the use of archive images to a mixture of dream like narration and pure sci-fi.

This graphic adaptation keeps verbatim the original text of the manifesto. Using the first person and the writer of the manifesto himself as a main character, it narrates in the form of warning future generations of the consequences' technology will have upon society, like the loss of freedom we experienced in post-pandemic days, where QR codes closed up our spaces of movement.

"Kaczynski’s analysis, if not his prescription, echoes warnings from many scholars and writers on industrialization, futurism, and the environment. This bold venture, making the original manifesto easier to understand, and therefore to counteract, belongs especially in university and large public libraries". Library Journal
