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.

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

Good book but narrator not my cup of tea

long time fan of McKenna, never read this and was put off by the narrator, but it's worth perseverance and the tale wins out in the end.

Listened after a long ponder

no words to truly describe this book other than mind blowingly possible and some out of world shit that we will never know without the legalisation of mushrooms and other tryptamine compounds
