Utopitripp

Benjamin Breens bok Tripping on Utopia: Margaret Mead, the Cold War, and the Troubled Birth of Psychedelic Science verkar spännande. Från en recension:

“Tripping on Utopia” makes the convincing case that [Margaret] Mead and her cohort were key players in the first wave of psychedelic science, which began not in the 1960s but in the 1920s. “Timothy Leary and the baby boomers did not usher in the first psychedelic era,” Breen writes. “They ended it.”

Breen sammanställer utmärkta nyhetsbrevet Res Obscura.
