The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life by Arthur Firstenberg (2017) argues that man-made electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from electricity, radio, and wireless technologies are hazardous to human health and the environment, causing pandemics of "diseases of civilization". It traces the history of electricity and its biological impacts. The Invisible Rainbow acts as a critique of modern technological progress, promoting a "hidden" history of environmental health, comparing the impact of electric technology to other major environmental pollutants.
