An exploration of the emergence of a new psychedelic spirituality in the work of Philip K. Dick, Terence McKenna, and Robert Anton Wilson.

A study of the spiritual provocations to be found in the work of Philip K. Dick, Terence McKenna, and Robert Anton Wilson, High Weirdness charts the emergence of a new psychedelic spirituality that arose from the American counterculture of the 1970s. These three authors changed the way millions of readers thought, dreamed, and experienced reality - but how did their writings reflect, as well as shape, the seismic cultural shifts taking place in America?

In High Weirdness, Erik Davis - America's leading scholar of high strangeness - examines the published and unpublished writings of these vital, iconoclastic thinkers, as well as their own life-changing mystical experiences. Davis explores the complex lattice of the strange that flowed through America's West Coast at a time of radical technological, political, and social upheaval to present a new theory of the weird as a viable mode for a renewed engagement with reality.

It was difficult to listen for the first two hours (+-). It was like a long winded, endless essay. Almost gave it up. After that it gets better and more interesting. Many interesting kaleidoscopic points of view.

The book is very focused on Philip K Dick and his works. Great research and storytelling.

Excellent background on the history of psychedelics and how they affected Psychonaut pioneers like Anton and Dick.

It's all connected.

This was a very deep and engaging work that drill to the depths of countercultural thought. Davis is a master wordsmith and his extensive knowledge on this fascinating topic is a continually source on intrigue and entertainment.

My vocabulary has grown tremendously and hearing the words in Erik’s own voice was a pleasure. His emphasis and cunning shine through in this audiobook, but I will need to relisten to it many times in order to absorb the finesse and nuance that it exudes.

Spellbinding and detailed account of a very squirrely time

A ‘MASTERPIECE’ that is Awesome beyond words. You will have to read it to understand. I would like to add, that in addition to the books content, this is undoubtedly the best author-narrated audio book I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Fans of, and listeners to, Erik Davies’s podcast ‘Expanding Mind’ you are in for really weird and mind-blowing guided tour of the 70’s. Enjoy!

AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!
