![]() ![]() There's also Storming Heaven: LSD And The American Dream by Jay Stevens, another history of LSD following the drug from Albert Hofman's laboratory to Timothy Leary's college to Ken Kesey's bus and then across the world. It's a social history of LSD, the 1960s counterculture and the CIA's strange foray into psychedelic experimentation. It's also well worth looking at Island – a late novel marking the culmination of Huxley's philosophical and psychotropic investigations.Īcid Dreams by Martin A Lee gives a good idea of the influence of Huxley's ideas. Huxley's anti-utopia also displays plenty of the obsessions that would lead him to The Doors Of Perception – particularly in the form of the drug Soma. ![]() Meanwhile, if you haven't already, you must also read Brave New World – JG Ballard says it's more prophetic than 1984 and few would argue that its influence is huge. ![]()
