Synopsis "The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life "

5g is being rolled out across the country, despite growing evidence that it is disruptive to our health, our safety, and the environment. The Invisible Rainbow is the groundbreaking story of electricity as it's never been told before--exposing its very real impact on the biosphere and human health. 100,000 copies sold! 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 eighteenth 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. "Few individuals today are able to grasp the entirety of a scientific subject and present it in a highly engaging manner . . . Firstenberg has done just that with one of the most pressing but neglected problems of our technological age."--BRADLEY JOHNSON, MD, Amen Clinic, San Francisco "[A] masterpiece."--Celia Farber, investigative journalist "This seminal book...will transform your understanding ...of the environmental and health effects of electricity and radio frequencies"--Paradigm Explorer

Arthur Firstenberg fue un escritor y activista estadounidense conocido por su crítica al impacto de la tecnología inalámbrica en la salud y el medio ambiente. Nació en 1950 y creció en Estados Unidos, donde desarrolló un interés temprano por la ciencia y la naturaleza. Estudió matemáticas en la universidad, pero su vida tomó un rumbo distinto tras experimentar problemas de salud que él atribuyó a la exposición a campos electromagnéticos.

Firstenberg se convirtió en una figura central dentro del movimiento que cuestiona los efectos de la radiación electromagnética, especialmente la proveniente de teléfonos móviles, redes Wi-Fi y antenas. Fue fundador de la organización Cellular Phone Task Force, dedicada a informar y generar conciencia sobre estos riesgos. A través de esta plataforma, promovió campañas internacionales y participó en debates sobre políticas tecnológicas.

Como autor, su obra más conocida es The Invisible Rainbow (2017), donde plantea una relación entre la electrificación del planeta y diversas enfermedades modernas. Aunque sus ideas han sido influyentes en ciertos grupos, también han sido ampliamente criticadas por la comunidad científica, que considera que carecen de evidencia sólida.

Firstenberg es recordado como una figura controvertida que impulsó el debate sobre los posibles efectos de la tecnología en la salud humana.
