Synopsis
Politics of the Imagination is an account of the life and work of Charles Fort (18741932). Born in Albany, New York, Fort spent almost his entire life searching through periodicals in the New York Public Library and the British Museum, compiling evidence to show that science was a mere faade. In a series of books-The Book of the Damned, New Lands, Lo!, and Wild Talents-Fort argued that science was a new form of social control whose object was to conceal the fantastical nature of the universe by editing out paradoxes, miracles, and paranormal events.
Politics has a foreword by John Keel, whose book The Mothman Prophecies is now a major motion picture starring Richard Gere.
