For the Curious

Essays on Ayahuasca to Alaska, Chaos to Castaneda, Music to Medicine and much more. From the Author AUTHOR'S PREFACE: These essays began as a project of sending weekly newsletters to my website subscribers, every Monday. I wrote about subjects I myself was interested in, be they mainstream, mid-stream, or far-out. After one year I stopped writing them-I didn't want to get in trouble with the law or anything-but the audience wanted more. They kept nudging me (think Yiddish) until I collected their favorites together in this book. The thing is, nobody has time for War and Peace anymore, but they still want quality and substance. It's good if the substance is slightly subversive. (Now, if you're going to go out and abuse the substance, that's on you, I can't be responsible.) I hope that Curious readers will want to swallow this 'red pill' of a book, essay by essay. The Especially Curious will then go to their computers or the library to see where all these rabbit holes go. Let's wish everyone safe journeys.
