The 'death ray' is no longer the figment of a science fiction writer's imagination. It is here to stay, all about us in our world: unseen, unheard and largely unregulated. Radio waves are a bigger threat to mankind than nuclear weapons, the ozone factor and just about every other ecological threat put together. There is no place on earth that escapes the radio wave and yet we still have no answer to the devastating effects of the X-ray, the gamma-ray or micro-wave, and as scientists push forward towards their obsession for ever higher and potentially more dangerous frequencies, we innocently contribute to this global disaster by insisting on more satellite communications, broadcasting freedom, microwave tele-systems, with the Utopian promise of earth as a global village.
An acceleration towards total radio chaos seems unstoppable as we enshroud the globe in an impenetrable mesh of radio activity, its suffocating and frazzling effect generation an era of magnetic storms and cosmic noise, and where human life will disintegrate for ever. One day, the only evidence of mankind will be in its electronic image.
The Last Broadcast is in three acts: Life, Half-life and After-life.
