Perfecting his rugged philosophy on the role of psychedelics in evolution, consciousness, and time, McKenna was a riotous charmer who stalked the shadows, but also sought the iridescence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore than twenty years since his untimely passing, McKenna has an enduring magnetism across the virtual pop stream, in pervasive digitization, and within social media networks. In \u003cem\u003eStrange Attractor\u003c\/em\u003e, the first biography of this enigmatic figure, Graham St John detects the signal behind the noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is an engaging chronicle of the life, works, and legacy of this brazen adventurer of the inner and outer dimensions, whose weird intelligence has affected multitudes and whose spirit continues to haunt the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt draws on original documents and letters, features fifty-two rare photographs and artworks, and shares previously untold stories from over eighty people. Neither glorifying nor disparaging its subject, \u003cem\u003eStrange Attractor\u003c\/em\u003e will appeal to those interested in the evolution of a psychedelic intellectual, and to those for whom McKenna's wisdom endures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46998632169708,"sku":"9780262049573","price":80.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7608743482281.jpg?v=1763223783","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/strange-attractor-by-erik-davis-9780262049573","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
