Έχουν περάσει σχεδόν 20 χρόνια από τις 3 Απριλίου του 1996, όταν οι άνδρες του FΒΙ συνέλαβαν τον «Γιουναμπόμπερ», (Unabomber όπως τον ονόμασε το FBI από το UNABOM -University and Airline Bomber). Επρόκειτο για την ιδιοφυΐα, τον σχιζοφρενή, Αμερικανό αναρχικό, πολέμιο της τεχνολογίας και οικο – τρομοκράτη βομβιστή, Τεντ Καζίνσκι (Theodore John Kaczynski) ο οποίος από το 1978 έως το 1995 προέβη σε μια σειρά βομβιστικών επιθέσεων, μέσω φακέλων, παγιδευμένων με εκρηκτικά, που ταχυδρομούσε στα θύματά του με αποτέλεσμα να χάσουν τη ζωή τους τρεις άνθρωποι και να τραυματιστούν άλλοι 23. Ο Καζίνσκι καταδικάσθηκε οκτάκις σε ισόβια και σήμερα 73 ετών πλέον, ζει στη διαβόητη φυλακή υψίστης ασφαλείας στο Κολοράντο, στη επονομαζόμενη supermax (super-maximum security). Ωστόσο μένει δραστήριος, έχει γράψει δεκάδες διατριβές, ενώ αλληλογραφεί με τον έξω κόσμο και παίρνει θέση για μια σειρά επίκαιρων ζητημάτων, όπως την Αλ Κάιντα, τις προεδρικές εκλογές των ΗΠΑ, τις εξελίξεις στην τεχνολογία. Αυτή η μίνι σειρά μας δείχνει το ανθρωποκυνηγητό που είχε εξαπολύσει το FBI εναντίον του επί δύο δεκαετίες μέχρι και την σύλληψή του.
