"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."
"The late Terence McKenna boldly retells early human history, describing the role of “psychedelic shamanism” in early partnership societies, in the development of language and imagination, and in the past and future evolution of humanity."
"Author of The Invisible Landscape: Holographic Theory of the Mind and Psilocybin: Magic Mushroom Growers Guide McKenna about new ways of looking at the world around us. A fascinating inner view of the dimensions of personal change that are possible."
