The Archaic Revival by Terence McKenna: Speculations on psychedelic mushrooms, the Amazon, virtual relation, UFOs, evolution, shamanism, the rebirth of the goddess, and the end of history. "Cited by the LA Weekly as "the culture's foremost spokesman for the psychedelic experience," Terence McKenna is an underground legend as a brilliant raconteur, adventurer, and expert on the experiential use of mind-altering plants. In these essays, interviews, and narrative adventures, McKenna takes us on a mesmerizing journey deep into the Amazon as swell as into the hidden recesses of the human psyche and the outer limits of our culture, giving us startling visions of the past and the future." 263 pp. with index.
