Arthur Koestler
Arthur Koestler was a Hungarian-born British novelist, journalist, and critic.
Arthur Koestler was a Hungarian-born British novelist, journalist, and critic. He was known for his writings on science, parapsychology, and political philosophy. His 1972 book, The Roots of Coincidence, explored the concept of synchronicity and other parapsychological phenomena.1
Koestler's work, particularly The Roots of Coincidence, played a role in influencing key figures in the U.S. government's psychic research programs. Major General Ed Tompson, the Army's assistant chief of staff for intelligence, developed a considerable enthusiasm for psychic spying after reading Koestler's pro-paranormal book. This personal interest contributed to Thompson's approval and support for the Gondola Wish program.1
