About this audiobook
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.

Monotonously read and very difficult to follow. lots of ranting about rubbish "science" theories. I just got the feeling that these guys have been cooked by far too many psychedelic trips. would not recommend.
