À propos de cet audio

 The definitive history of the military's decades-long investigation into mental powers and phenomena, from the author of Pulitzer Prize finalist The Pentagon's Brain and international bestseller Area 51.

This is a book about a team of scientists and psychics with top secret clearances.

For more than forty years, the U.S. government has researched extrasensory perception, using it in attempts to locate hostages, fugitives, secret bases, and downed fighter jets, to divine other nations' secrets, and even to predict future threats to national security. The intelligence agencies and military services involved include CIA, DIA, NSA, DEA, the Navy, Air Force, and Army-and even the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Now, for the first time, New York Times bestselling author Annie Jacobsen tells the story of these radical, controversial programs, using never before seen declassified documents as well as exclusive interviews with, and unprecedented access to, more than fifty of the individuals involved. Speaking on the record, many for the first time, are former CIA and Defense Department scientists, analysts, and program managers, as well as the government psychics themselves.

Who did the U.S. government hire for these top secret programs, and how do they explain their military and intelligence work? How do scientists approach such enigmatic subject matter? What interested the government in these supposed powers and does the research continue? Phenomena is a riveting investigation into how far governments will go in the name of national security.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Praise for Phenomena

One of The Washington Post's most anticipated books of 2017

One of USA Today's New and Noteworthy Picks!


"With Phenomena, Annie Jacobsen has once again produced an utterly absorbing and brilliantly reported chronicle that truly breaks new ground. This is a boundary-breaking story of mental phenomena-extra sensory perception techniques-that is truly a pleasure to read. A mind-bending triumph!"—Alex Kershaw, bestselling author of The Liberator and Avenue of Spies
"In her latest eye-opening work of investigative journalism, Jacobsen digs deeply into the rich vein of information gleaned from declassified U.S. government documents that catapulted her previous books, Area 51 (2011) and The Pentagon's Brain (2015), to best-seller status.... Jacobsen offers a smorgasbord of captivating and often-surprising facts unearthed from more than four decades of secret investigations... A fascinating peek at a little-seen side of national security."—Carl Hays, Booklist
"Compelling....This is an excellent read that gives evidence on both sides of the argument that extrasensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis exist, complementing suchworks as W. Adam Mandelbaum's The Psychic Battlefield and Ann Finkbeiner's The Jasons. Highly recommended for those interested in the military and the paranormal."

—Library Journal (starred review)
"Jacobsen journeys into the realm where the paranormal and the bureaucratic meet.... she looks into the men-who-stare-at-goats investigations of the government, programs born of the Cold War and the need to combat the Red Menace on all fronts, including the extrasensory.... entertaining reading... The occultly inclined will by duly enchanted."—Kirkus
"Journalist Jacobsen continues her disturbing excavations of the inner workings of the American defense and intelligence establishment in this fascinating exposé of governmental research into 'anomalous mental phenomena'....Jacobsen artfully deals card after dutifully researched card in her enthralling reportage on one of America's most curious defense endeavors."—Publishers Weekly
"Richly researched.... Jacobsen shows that, in the face of inexplicable events, even 'the most pragmatic, commonsense thinkers found themselves uncertain.'"—The New Yorker

L’histoire méconnue des activités parapsychologiques de la CIA se révèle dans le livre d’Annie Jacobsen. Cette version audio est d’autant plus intéressante parce qu’elle est lue par l’auteure.

Récit captivant sur des activités méconnues de la CIA

Astonishing, unbelievable, thought-provoking, and ultimately completely beyond the current horizons of both consciousness study and sociopolitical-historical study. A must-listen for anyone interested in deep politics, mind control, surveillance, paranormality, psychokinesis, (counter)intelligence operations; equally enlightening for open-minded skeptics of any these topics (myself included). Annie Jacobsen’s reporting (and narration) is excellent; thorough and well-sourced. As with any avenue of investigation into obscure intelligence circles, there are obvious limitations to available evidence. Jacobsen does not let uncertainty hold her back though—often its her speculative forays (always clearly indicated as such) which produce the most profound or lasting insights.
TL;DR: It’s not going to give hard proof of the existence PK or ESP, but it will blow your mind in ways you were not expecting (and probably lead you to believe you have received a psychic message or two during the course of listening).

I was surprised about how non-isolated ESP research and experiments were within the government for so long.
However, much of the middle section of the book seemed like long repetitions of the same stories with different names.

I can appreciate that the author was trying to cover 100% of the ground, but feel like some parts could have been shortened, as long listening sessions became monotonous at times.

Good read! But less enthralling than ‘Nuclear War’

How engrained ESP research is in much of America’s history.

Loved that book.
Love the author’s style of research and how she build the book from the start to the end.
First time I listen to an audio book while cooking and doing random things. It’s fluid and very well built.
