The ghost is no longer in the machine. It is the machine.
In the history of the supernatural, hauntings were once confined to ancient forests and Victorian hallways. But as we have migrated our lives into the digital ether, something has followed us. In this chilling collection of twenty-five paranormal stories, Glenn D. Varnell, PhD, explores the terrifying hypothesis that our technology hasn't replaced the supernatural-it has provided it with a high-speed medium through which to manifest.
From smart speakers recording whispers from the void to sentient programs lurking in the encrypted layers of the Deep Web, Ghosts in the Code looks past the user interface to reveal what is truly running in the background of our reality. These are not mere glitches. They are signatures of a new, digital occultism where Wi-Fi routers and touchscreens have become the modern-day Ouija boards, inviting silent observers into our pockets and our homes.
