Resumen del Editor
A journey through the attempts artists, scientists, and tinkerers have made to imagine and communicate with the otherworldly using various technologies, from cameras to radiowaves.
Strange Frequencies takes listeners on an extraordinary narrative and historical journey to discover how people have used technology in an effort to search for our own immortality.
Bebergal builds his own ghostly gadgets to reach the other side, too, and follows the path of famous inventors, engineers, seekers, and seers who attempted to answer life's ultimate mysteries. He finds that not only are technological innovations potent metaphors keeping our spiritual explorations alive, but literal tools through which to experiment the boundaries of the physical world and our own psyches.
Peter takes the listener alongside as he explores:
- The legend of the golem and the strange history of automata
- A photographer who is trying to capture the physical manifestation of spirits
- A homemaker who has recorded voicemails from the dead
- A stage magician who combines magic and technology to alter his audience's consciousness
- And more
Reseñas de la Crítica
“With all human culture arguably evolved from Palaeolithic shamanism, Bebergal engagingly explores the uncanny overlap between an ancient landscape of occult ideas and today’s techno-saturated environment, from Victorian table-tilting to the digitally remastered voices of the dead; from confidence tricksters, through the desperate or delusional, to the artists and visionaries currently exploring this marvelous, ectoplasm-damp material. An absorbing, comprehensive guide to the high-definition séance parlor of the modern world, and a timely reminder that, in contemporary civilization, we are never more than a couple of centuries away from an alchemist.” (Alan Moore)
“Even the most well-read esoteric scholar will find some new and fascinating bit of lore in Bebergal’s book...an engrossing read.... And as far as tour guides to the occult underworld go, you couldn’t ask for a better Virgil than Bebergal: his prose is warm, clever and erudite without being alienating. Read it with as open a mind as he wrote it and you’ll be bound to pick up a few interesting frequencies on your wavelength.” (Fortean Times)
“Bebergal dives into the relationship between technical and occult imagination and comes up with something profound about the human experience. By turns funny, spooky, thought-provoking, and moving, Strange Frequencies is brilliant work.” (Daniel Abraham, New York Times best-selling coauthor of the Expanse series)

Historia
George R. Noory is the host of America's top late-night talk show, Coast to Coast AM, broadcast to nearly 500 radio stations in the United States and Canada. Noory truly believes that there are forces, both good and evil, at work on Earth and beyond. Fueled by a transcending experience at a very young age, he's turned his life into an investigation of the possibilities and influences of such forces, and how we can use them to enhance our lives.

Historia
If you read a standard history of magic, you learn that it begins in ancient Egypt with the resurrection of a goose in front of the Pharaoh. You discover how magicians were tortured and killed during the age of witchcraft. You are told how conjuring tricks were used to quell rebellious colonial natives. The history of magic is full of such stories, which turn out not to be true. Behind the smoke and mirrors, however, lies the real story of magic.

Bestselling author Leonard Shlain explores the life, art, and mind of Leonardo da Vinci, seeking to explain his singularity by looking at his achievements in art, science, psychology, and military strategy (yes), and then employing state of the art left-right brain scientific research to explain his universal genius. Shlain shows that no other person in human history has excelled in so many different areas as Da Vinci and he peels back the layers to explore the how and the why.

Between 1993 and 2000, a series of groundbreaking experiments revealed dramatic evidence of a web of energy that connects everything in our lives and our world - the Divine Matrix. From the healing of our bodies, to the success of our careers, relationships, and the peace between nations, this new evidence demonstrates that we each hold the power to speak directly to the force that links all of creation.

The co-editors of Gnosis magazine explore the many esoteric traditions that Western culture has to offer. While terms from Eastern spiritual practices such as Zen, mantra, and karma have become part of our daily lexicon, the traditions of Western spirituality have been largely unexplored by people searching for non-mainstream routes to spiritual experience. But for those who identify with Western culture, Western religious traditions have their own wisdom teachings that are more suitable to their needs and expectations.

Composer John Cage sought the silence of a mind at peace with itself - and found it in Zen Buddhism, a spiritual path that changed both his music and his view of the universe. "Remarkably researched, exquisitely written", Where the Heart Beats weaves together "a great many threads of cultural history" (Maria Popova, Brain Pickings) to illuminate Cage’s struggle to accept himself and his relationship with choreographer Merce Cunningham. Freed to be his own man, Cage originated exciting experiments that set him at the epicenter of a new avant-garde forming in the 1950s.

Almost 40 years since its original publication, Drawing Down the Moon continues to be the only detailed history of the burgeoning but still widely misunderstood Neo-Pagan subculture. Margot Adler attended ritual gatherings and interviewed a diverse, colorful gallery of people across the United States, people who find inspiration in ancient deities, nature, myth, even science fiction. In this revised edition, Adler takes a fascinating and honest look at the religious experiences, beliefs, and lifestyles of modern America's Pagan groups.

Very Compelling Read!
Very Compelling Read! A great mix of scepticism and wonder. It really opened me up. For me it was a blending and balacing of the dichotomy between Technology and Tradition. Highly Recommend even if it's just to gain perspective of what are modern tools can also be used for

Enjoyable for what it is
Tried to finish this book for a while and the audiobook helped a lot. I think it’s a good introduction to fringe spiritual and technological thinking, written in a very journalistic way.
If you already know about golems, automata, spirit boxes and the occult, there’s not a ton of new info here and you might be bored with it.
Still, I commend Mr. Bebergal on taking on what seems like a massive amount of research for this.

Great overview.
I wish I had this book when I first started as it is an excellent overview of the more recent history of the spiritualist movement beginning in the early 1900's. It does cover some older tradition, John Dee for instance, but only really in passing. Terrence Mckenna offers better insight (and criticism on that.
He mentions Robert A. Monroe and even John A Keel, both of those authors offer better material with greater depth than you will find here, particularly within "the eighth tower" by Keel or "Far Journey " by Monroe.
It's a decent overview to new comers, and perhaps a bit of valid criticism to those taken in by the more new agey concepts who need a bit of grounding.
It's a good book. But it doesnt offer anything I didn't already know. It is a great suggested reading list if nothing else.

Couldn't Get Into It
I became interested in this book after hearing the author interviewed on the Witch Wave podcast. It sounded like a really interesting premise, but ultimately it failed to deliver. I keep finding myself tuning out to the narrators droning voice. I'm sure the right kind of listener could really get into it, but it's just too technical and cerebral for me.
