Undercurrents, 'the magazine of alternative science and technology' ( ISSN   0306-2392), was published in England between 1972 [1] and 1984: when it was merged into Resurgence : 63 editions all together.

In the 1970s, Clifford Harper provided illustrations. [2] For much of that period it appeared every two months and the circulation peaked at 7,000 in the late 1970s. It became the ‘house journal of the alternative technology movement’. [3] Phone phreaking was among the many technological topics covered in the journal. [4] The magazine has been republished on the World Wide Web using Issuu and, in part only, on Scribd.
