Publisher's Summary:

Do you spend the majority of your day in front of a laptop, in artificial light? Then drive home, chatting on your Bluetooth before heating up your dinner in the microwave? Then you "relax" with your iPad, glancing at your flat screen TV that's downloading the latest movie, before setting the alarm on your phone and sleeping with it next to your head, the smart meter buzzing away in the background?

Here's another question: How do you feel? Any headaches or ringing in the ears? Lack of energy? Putting on weight? Annoying little allergies? Ever wondered if there's a connection?

Author and environmental scientist Jason Bawden-Smith believes that, with regard to the harmful effects of living in a technologically connected world, we are currently living in the dark.

There's no doubt technology serves great function in this day and age, and will continue to do so. In the Dark simply brings stronger awareness to the adverse effects technology can have, and offers simple and practical measures that people can take, without feeling they have to compromise the lifestyle they want.

Must-Have for EMF Obsessives

In the same vein as the books Dirty Electricity and Robert O. Becker's classic, The Body Electric, this book explores the health dangers of electromagnetic fields (EMF) and artificial blue light. In The Dark points to a lot of Russian studies on EMF that I was unaware of (and I've read pretty much everything on the subject) and offers some technological solutions, namely BlueShield - an EMF scrambler, of sorts, which the author's company sells - and The Quantlet, a wearable (but not EMF-emitting) light therapy device. I have not tried either of these products yet, so cannot vouch for their effectiveness. If you're obsessed with EMF's, as I am, this book is a must have. So, why did I give it only 4 stars? Because the publisher limits the number of highlights you can make to the e-text, which really stinks if you're trying to use this book for research purposes and citations. When you try to print up your highlights, you get an error message if you have more than 20 highlighted passages. Fortunately, there are ways to get around this if you've bought the book (rather than just borrowing it), using free software called Calibre. Not sure how legal this technically is, but, hey, if you've paid money to buy the book, I think you should be able to highlight as many notes as you want. I find the publisher's restriction very annoying, not to mention counter-productive to citing this book in other research.

Five Stars

Very informative book; I plan to share it with others.

Five Stars

Easy and informative read.

This Is an Extremely Important Book!

I think most of us have sensed that all of these microwave transmissions that now exist in our living and working environments must be causing us some kind of harm, and this book gets into this in great detail. Cell phones, laptops, tablets, cordless phones, wireless printers and anything that emits these kind of frequencies can be causing us harm, and this subject will soon become mainstream here in the U.S. It already is mainstream in Europe and in Australia, and this will be happening here in the U.S., too.
