Haunted Media: Electronic Presence from Telegraphy to Television Paperback - 2000
by Jeffrey Sconce
First line
Within a five-year span in the 1840s, the American public witnessed two of the most remarkable moments in telecommunications history.
From the rear cover
"Death, desire and distance are Jeffrey Sconce's companions in this truly spooky journey through the 'troubling afterlife of modernity.' His brilliant and beautifully written history of the uncanny powers ascribed to the electronic media is a wonderful catalogue of popular fantasies. But more profoundly it is a symptomatology of media theory too. In fact and fiction alike we are caught up in wild imaginings that seek transcendance in transmission, from the ether to the Internet. Where redemption is sought from the 'liveness' of technology, Sconce advises caution. Or, as one of the quirky spirits he unearths implores via radio, 'bring a halibut!' "--John Hartley, Queensland University of Technology
