Summary of High Weirdness--Psychedelic Cultural History
This Summary is reliable and affordable and reasonably clear considering the obscure flights of fancy and hobby horses in Davis's book. According to Davis, psychedelic experience resonates particularly well with today’s networking of consciousness and culture. Many of the occult themes explored in his book, he maintains, are part of our common condition. The extent of countercultural influence on cyberculture shown in this book is mind-boggling!
This summary is recommended for readers unfamiliar with the history of occulture.
