The Roots of Coincidence, written by Arthur Koestler, is an accessible introduction to theories of parapsychology, including extra-sensory perception and psychokinesis. It postulates links between elements of quantum mechanics, such as the behaviour of neutrinos and their interaction with time, and these paranormal phenomena. It is influenced by Carl Jung's concept of synchronicity.

[edit] Appearance in popular culture

In Volume 7 of the graphic novel series V for Vendetta, Inspector Finch is seen reading The Roots of Coincidence. Koestler is referenced several times in the work.

Sting was an avid reader of Koestler. Sting named The Police's final studio album Synchronicity as a reference to The Roots of Coincidence. Sting had named The Police's previous album Ghost in the Machine after another of Koestler's books.

"The Roots of Coincidence" is also the name of a song by Pat Metheny Group, on their 1997 album Imaginary Day.
