Exploring how technological apparatuses "capture" invisible worlds,
this book looks at how spirits, UFOs, discarnate entities, spectral
energies, atmospheric forces and particles are mattered into
existence by human minds. Technological and scientific discourse
has always been central to the nineteenth- and early
twentieth-century spiritualist quest for legitimacy, but as this
book shows, machines, people, and invisible beings are much more
ontologically entangled in their definitions and constitution than
we would expect. The book shows this entanglement through a series
of contemporary case studies where the realm of the invisible
arises through technological engagement, and where the paranormal
intertwines with modern technology.
