Radio is a book about the minor miracle of communication. How can the contents of an electromagnetic wave convince us that there are other people out there in the world that are speaking to us through the medium of radio?

What might it mean if we got news of a consciousness from elsewhere this way? What gets picked up, and what gets lost in the static?

Radio is a meditation on communication, consciousness, and the uncertainty we can feel about whether or not we are alone.
