If you're a seasoned veteran the stories and explanations of psychedelics from the perspective of a 60-something year old noob might be a little obvious, but the history, the neuroscience, and the description of recent scientific studies are all interesting and inspiring.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
