Summary

This mesmerizing, surreal account of the bizarre adventures of Terence McKenna, his brother Dennis, and a small band of their friends, is a wild ride of exotic experience and scientific inquiry. Exploring the Amazon Basin in search of mythical shamanic hallucinogens, they encounter a host of unusual characters - including a mushroom, a flying saucer, pirate Mantids from outer space, an appearance by James and Nora Joyce in the guise of poultry, and translinguistic matter - and discover the missing link in the development of human consciousness and language.

A wild, surreal odyssey undertaken by an ambitious and curious band of young people, barely out there teens sees the formation of some of the most outrageous, yet viable theories on alien life, the nature of time, space and sound and the future of the species. It was a wonderful, illuminating ride. An incredible book by a brilliant and courageous thinker.

Magical madness!

My only disappointment was that this wasn't narrated by the man himself however the designated narrator delivers a fantastical yet grounded recitement and Terrence's articulation. This book can stand alone as an account of stories told by a hippie of the times following the summer of love and the impact of LSD on a group of wayward academics. It is much more than that but it is down to the reader to extrapolate from between the fact of the matter and Terrence's story.

A perspective of the mind immersed in the supernatural of the natural

If they had the Terrance readings it would be far better, the guy is a little soulless while reading witty m commentary.

Would be 5 stars
