The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is not simply the best book on the hippies, it is the essential book...the pushing, ballooning heart of the matter

A life-changer, a rabble-rouser, a mind-blower, a gathering of the tribes, a call to arms, a manifesto for a new society, a car repair manual, a fly-on-the-paisley-patterned-wall account of a cultural revolution – a masterpiece!

Electrifying

An amazing book... A book that definitely gives Wolfe the edge on the nonfiction novel

Every word seems placed with a care and a skill of contrivance... A major journalistic contribution to the future analysis of our own and America's strange period of this century

You only had to look at him… or read such books as The Bonfire of the Vanities and The Right Stuff to know that Tom Wolfe was like no other

Journalism, it is said, is the first draft of history. Nobody exemplifies the dictum better than Wolfe, the cultural observer and social critic par excellence

Effortlessly, elegantly, Tom Wolfe bestrode both fiction and non-fiction… a style at once objective, subjective, and hallucinatory

[Tom Wolfe’s] gleeful use of punctuation and italics, along with entertaining asides and neologisms that often quickly cemented themselves into the English lexicon, helped Wolfe stand out from other journalists

[Wolfe] made literature fun and bores don’t like fun

A Day-Glo book, illuminating, merry, surreal!

In this smart, sharply-argued book, Adam Alter lays out the evidence for a hidden danger in our lives: behavioural addiction. A fascinating read that will leave you enlightened — and alarmed

Mixing the latest in behavioral science with briskly engaging storytelling, Adam Alter wakes us to an age-old problem that has found troubling new expression

Fascinating, salutary.

It brims with insightful studies and explains arcane concepts with great clarity. Alter is not afraid to brand the gods of Silicon Valley hypocrites and pushers who are keenly aware that their products wreck lives.

Fascinating

A brilliant and important book
