(Literature): The Other side of Haight
I just read a great new book by target="blank>James Fadiman; The other Side of Haight. Short and sweet novel about the 60's, SF experience, written by the past Director of Noetic Science and the cofounder of the Institute for Transpersonal Psychology where he still teaches, so you know he has an eloquent and saturated understanding of the psychedelic experience. The story surrounds the the factual CIA project of the acid bordello where unwitting subjects of LSD were observed through two-way mirrors. Plus the free-love and beneficial and costly effects of consciousnesses expansion.
Equally excellent if you were 'there' and elucidating if you weren't. Recommendable to 'intiates' and the unintroduced alike.

This isn't really a new book... it was published in 2001.
Oh, my mistake, the author just promoted it recently at a local bookstore so I assumed it was newer. Still, a good psychedelic story!
