The quiet zone : unraveling the mystery of a town suspended in silence
Kurczy, Stephen2021
Book
Green Bank, West Virginia is home to the Green Bank Observatory, where astronomers search the depths of the universe using the latest technology, while schoolchildren go without WiFi or iPads. With a ban on all devices emanating radio frequencies that might interfere with the telescopes, Quiet Zone residents live a life free from constant digital connectivity. But a community that on the surface seems idyllic is a place of contradictions, where the provincial meets the seemingly supernatural and quiet can serve as a cover for something darker. Stephen Kurczy embedded in Green Bank, making the residents of this small Appalachian village his neighbours. He shopped at the town's general store, attended church services, went target shooting with a 7-year-old, square-danced with the locals, sampled the local moonshine. In this book, he introduces us to an unforgettable cast of characters.
