Krátky popis
'It was not the Baby Boomers who ushered in the first era of
widespread drug experimentation. It was their parents.'The
generation that survived the second World War emerged with a
profoundly ambitious sense of social experimentation. In the '40s
and '50s, transformative drugs rapidly entered mainstream culture,
where they were not only legal, but openly celebrated.American
physician John C. Lilly infamously dosed dolphins (and himself)
with LSD in a NASA-funded effort to teach dolphins to talk. A
tripping Cary Grant mumbled into a Dictaphone about Hegel as
astronaut John Glenn returned to Earth.At the centre of this
revolution were the pioneering anthropologists - and star-crossed
lovers - Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson. Convinced the world was
headed toward certain disaster, Mead and Bateson made it their
life's mission to reshape humanity through a new science of
consciousness expansion, but soon found themselves at odds with the
government bodies who funded their work, whose intentions were less
than pure. Mead and Bateson's partnership unlocks an untold chapter
in the history of the twentieth century, linking drug researchers
with CIA agents, outsider sexologists and the founders of the
Information Age.
