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 best seller Area 51.
This is a book about a team of scientists and psychics with top secret clearances.
For more than 40 years, the US 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 best-selling 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 50 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 US 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.

mysterious and amazing
I feel like I literally want to stand up and applaud Annie Jacobsen's work. She is one of, if not the best reporter in the business.

Charting the Depths of the Psychic Intelligence Iceberg
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).
5/5

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

3rd from the author and not the last
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.
