Fascinating reading. Pleased the author shared interests and left many references to his sources. References to The Whole Earth Catalogue; Golum - Jakob Grimm made an entry in his 1808 Zeitung fur Einsiedler (Journal for Hermits), Golum to automatic - Salomon de Caus, Hortus Palatinus Garden (inspired the animated brass horse in The Canterbury Tales, and the living statue of Hermione in The Winter's Tale); James Cox's animated silver swan (which inspired Twain); stage magic; spiritualism; spirit photography; Electronic voice phenomenon; Brion Gysin, Huxley, ..this book is an interesting read about the author's own journey to penetrate things supernatural.

I most admit I misunderstood what this book was about. I thought it focused on radio waves from outer space but it's about mysticism and spiritualism. There is one reference to Tesla's work, and anecdotal evidence that he was cognizant of things before they happened. I appreciate the author's Jewish perspective and his tales about Jewish mysticism including Kabbalah and the relationship to the Golem folklore. I think I would have enjoyed the book more if it focused on one topic rather trying to provide a historical overview. ( )
