About this listen

More than 75,000 copies sold! Cell towers, Wi-Fi, 5G: Electricity has shaped the modern world. But how has it affected our health and environment?

Over the last 220 years, society has evolved a universal belief that electricity is "safe" for humanity and the planet. Scientist and journalist Arthur Firstenberg disrupts this conviction by telling the story of electricity in a way it has never been told before - from an environmental point of view - by detailing the effects that this fundamental societal building block has had on our health and our planet.

In The Invisible Rainbow, Firstenberg traces the history of electricity from the early 18th century to the present, making a compelling case that many environmental problems, as well as the major diseases of industrialized civilization - heart disease, diabetes, and cancer - are related to electrical pollution.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This book and the information in it is something that 95% of the world wouldn't even think about. It's scary just listening to the section on bees! I hope we get to a point where the rest of the world realises what's in this book at least would be a start!

Phenomenal

this book is very thorough. listening to it will give you a very solid understanding on the subject. I have to praise the narrator who is extremely eloquent, I don't know how he managed to pronounce all of the tricky foreign names of the researchers and scientists so perfectly as well, hats off to him! this book almost lost a star because I was hoping after the many many hours of listening, the last chapter would give tips/info/help on how we can protect ourselves to some extent. there was no such information shared. just a warning at how devastating 5G will be If it's implemented (and of course, it now ia). I know we can't escape it, but some kind of knowledge on how to help fight the effects and protect ourselves and our family's in any way would have been a much much better end to this book. I left it at 5stars however because this book did not claim to be a "help". it was a HISTORY Of electricity. I will go to podcasts to find interviews with the author to see if he has more to add now. definitely worth the listen If you want to fully understand this topic.

very well researched, interesting, and concerning

It's unfortunate that there is still so much ignorance around this topic - profits over people and all life on earth. Quite frightening!!!! We need free energy back and transition out of this dangerous situation.

Humanity needs this massive wake up!

Firstenberg has obviously done a lot of reading on the topics which he is writing about but has cherry-picked results to substantiate his bizarre theories.
He is very quick to infer causation from correlation of seemingly unlinked phenomena of they support his theories.
Some of the history is interesting but I'm wary of how accurate it is due to his tendency to cherry pick.
