Mac Tonnies (1975-2009) was an author and blogger whose work focused on futurology, transhumanism, and the paranormal. Tonnies grew up in Independence, Missouri. He was the author of two other books, a collection of science fiction short stories entitled Illumined Black, and After the Martian Apocalypse, an examination of the anomalies on the surface of Mars. His popular blog was called Posthuman Blues. Tonnies died at the age of 34 in Kansas City, Missouri.
"The Cryptoterrestrials is the most refreshing speculation on the
paranormal I've seen in ages. The ideas in this book will be
harvested by science-fiction writers and TV shows like Fringe for
decades. Even skeptics will have a great time reading this well
written book of wild conjecture. Mac Tonnies' final Fortean
landmark is the Book of the Damned for the 21st century. Fans of
the paranormal: be there or be square." - John Shirley, author of
Bleak History "This book is an honest pursuit of ideas that might
lead to some greater understanding of the paranormal and the
existence of an apparent non-human intelligence...Mac Tonnies cuts
through much of the self-satisfied, bloated fundamentalist fat of
the last 50 years with the deft touch of a surgeon and the
encyclopedic knowledge of a veteran." - From the Afterword by Greg
Bishop, author of Project Beta "The Cryptoterrestrials is written
in a succinct and engaging style condensing an immense amount of
research... It is also beautifully illustrated and nicely
presented...[The] UFO phenomenon smacks of deception and
manipulation but not of a paranoid conspiracy theory type but of
something of a totally different order. The question that needs to
be asked is whether these beings could actually be another race
sharing the planet with us and for some reason need us to perceive
them as extra-terrestrial. Tonnies thesis is impressive and
challenging..." - Living Traditions Magazine
