These three visionaries changed the way millions of readers thought, dreamed, and experience reality - but how did their own writings reflect, as well as shape, the seismic cultural shifts taking place in America during one of its most surreal eras? In this book, the author - America's leading scholar of the strange - examines the writings of these vital, iconoclastic thinkers, as well as their own extraordinary, life-changing experiences along the way. The author maps the uncanny lattice of culture and consciousness that characterized America's West Coast at a time of radical technological, political, and social change. What results is a new theory of the weird that illuminates the seventies, while providing for a renewed engagement with reality during our own highly weird times. 600 10 $a Dick, Philip K. 600 10 $a McKenna, Terence K., $d 1946-2000. 600 10 $a Wilson, Robert Anton, $d 1932-2007. 600 17 $a Dick, Philip K. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031238 600 17 $a McKenna, Terence K., $d 1946-2000. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00287492 600 17 $a Wilson, Robert Anton, $d 1932-2007. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01441131 650 0 $a Hallucinogenic drugs and religious experience. 650 0 $a Occultism. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Nineteen seventies. 650 6 $a HallucinogeÌnes et expeÌrience religieuse. 650 6 $a Occultisme. 650 6 $a Culture populaire $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a AnneÌes soixante-dix (VingtieÌme sieÌcle) 650 7 $a occultism. $2 aat 650 7 $a occult sciences. $2 aat 650 7 $a Hallucinogenic drugs and religious experience. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00950660 650 7 $a Nineteen seventies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01037812 650 7 $a Occultism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01043123 650 7 $a Popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071344 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100010.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E01324B2214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
