Give a listen." - Alex Grey, artist, author of Net of Being and Transfigurations, and co-founder of The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors - - - "Some of the most important thinkers of our time speak in their own words to two brilliant interviewers. Anyone aspiring to understand the new millennium we are entering will have to read this book. Every page explodes like an intellectual firecracker. A first rate job!" - Robert Anton Wilson, author of Cosmic Trigger and The Illuminatus! trilogy - - - "When it was first published, Mavericks of the Mind was more than a breath of fresh air-it was a hurricane of ideas and visions perfectly tuned to the time. This 21st century expansion pack will ensure that these maverick spirits - many of whom have now passed on-will continue to channel the mindscape beyond the bend." - Erik Davis, author of Nomad Codes, TechGnosis, and High Weirdness - - - "Mavericks of the Mind is a now classic collection of interviews that serves as an indispensable reference and portal into the mercurial minds of the psychedelic pantheon." - Graham St John, author of Mystery School in Hyperspace: A Cultural History of DMT - - - "No other book of interviews captures the front-edge, psychedelically-inflected inquiry of the pre-millennium better than Mavericks of the Mind. I believe that this and subsequent volumes by David Jay Brown give us a serious run at cracking the DNA code of conscious reality in this Century." - Bruce Damer, Ph.D., UC Santa Cruz Astrobiologist working on origins of life, and President of the Center for MINDS.
