While reading Ray Kurzweil's book The Age of Spiritual Machines (deals with the philosophical implications of the inevitability of machine intelligence) I came upon two pages of quoted text. After reading and agreeing with it wholeheartedly (it was very thoughtful, well laid-out, and utterly convincing in the points it made) I discovered that I had been reading an excerpt from the Unabomber Manifesto.
