T. C. Boyles Roman über den Psychologen und Hippie Timothy Leary und dessen LSD-Experimente: hell, bunt und wie ein Rausch. Endlich wird der aufstrebende wissenschaftliche Assistent Fitz auf eine der LSD-Partys seines Professors, dem Psychologen und LSD-Guru Timothy Leary, eingeladen.

Endlich: Wassermusik als Komplettlesung! Boyle erzählt die weitgehend wahre Geschichte des schottischen Forschers Mungo Park, der Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts als erster Weißer den Verlauf des Niger erkundete und von seiner zweiten Reise nicht mehr zurückkam.

Den beiden Helden zugesellt ist ein phantastisches Panoptikum von Hexen und Schlägern, Kannibalen, Huren, Glücksrittern. Mit einem Wort: Boyle at his best!

But the complex story of Freedomville, the murder that these revolutionaries nearly got away with, and the short-lived freedom its inhabitants created has never before been told until now.

For most of human history, the world was a magical and enchanted place ruled by forces beyond our understanding. The rise of science and Descartes's division of mind from world made materialism our ruling paradigm, in the process asking whether our own consciousness—i.e., souls—might be illusions. Now the inexorable rise of technology, with artificial intelligences that surpass our comprehension and control, and the spread of digital metaphors for self-understanding, the core questions of existence urgently require rethinking.
