Description
Set in the 1960s, this provocative novel follows a Harvard psychology graduate student and his wife as they are drawn into Timothy Leary’s pioneering—and increasingly unorthodox—experiments with LSD. What begins as an investigation into consciousness expands into a volatile world of psychedelic exploration, communal living, and challenges to academic, social, and marital conventions. With wit, energy, and psychological insight, the story examines the nature of reality, belief, identity, and the human hunger for transcendence. It is an exuberant and unsettling portrait of a cultural moment when science, spirituality, and rebellion collided.
