About this listen
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.

OMG EMF'S WTF OYE'S WRWB
Fantastic book backed up with evidence and antidotal notes that are very much our 'normal'. We all should be aware and taking a moment, holding tech companies accountable for making sure devices are safe 100% before flooding the market with the latest version of the same as before.
The fact is your phone isn't safe for you to hold directly, but needs space between you and it, and this info is printed in your phone for you to find and then what...
This book isn't about banning tech, it's an in your face truth eye opener, the tech is great and we want it. We just need it to be safe to use by us and our kids first, foremost, and why is it not yet?
If you want some answers or have some answers then this book will help with both.

Excellent info, well told
If this book doesn’t prompt one to make changes to their environment then we may all be doomed. I’ll be signing up for the EMF Warriors newsletter.

such an eye opening book. changed my view
this has changed my view to see the world and we're facing such a big issue that we don't even realize. more importantly it's within our reach and so close to us majority of the time. we all need to be aware of what's going and spread how technology can harm us and the importance of connecting with earth. this book can be a start.
