He is completely dysfunctional having a bad life. He thinks it's OK to spend his days refreshing web pages and blaming pesticides for his issues. His issues are simple: he has no life. He avoids this depressing fact by hiding in psychedelics. But actually has a really awful experience every time he tries them. All he can do is get really paranoid and destroy his computer and online presence. This should tell him something: he's got no real life. The trips keep trying to tell him, but he doesn't listen. Instead, he takes every opportunity to get stoned and carries on not living. What is telling is that he cannot see that McKenna died because he did psychedelics - who gets frontal cortex cancer? And he regretted it. McKenna's son catalogues porn and somehow Lin thinks he's a genius. This poor author who hasn't even ever seen a hash plant...really? There are clues everywhere in this book that Lin should take heed. He's not Hamilton Morris, who is completely aware of everything he is doing. He's basically a naive and gullible person with no friends hiding in another reality he doesn't even enjoy. Furthermore, this book is badly written. Summarisng McKenna's work and videos is not writing a book. The editing is atrocious. Maybe it was cute to have run-on sentences in fiction but run-on sentences that don't finish are unforgiveable. I feel like very young people who have never heard of McKenna etc. will find this interesting but it's such a low level of basic understanding and so derivative I'm not sure why it got published. What's more immediately frightening is the level of nihilism and lack of self. If this were a fictional book, I imagine it would read like Patrick Bateman Tries Drugs. I can only assume that's what happened in Lin's fiction books: people assumed he was writing a character. But it's actually just him. He's a sociopath, not one scrap of empathy, alwasy about himself. It's a very scary personality, and the only reason I kept reading was his utterly revolting way of acting with others. I hope he gets help. The publisher should have been more responsible than to publish this work, in which Lin is clear he thinks everyone is a CIA agent and doesn't actually say this with any irony. Probably the best book on psychedelics if you want to read a horror story on why not to take them. Tao Lin has not expanded his reality, just found a really horrible space to hide from his. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome and groovy and exciting *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 June 2018* Wonderful book full of curiosity and awe and appreciation for the vast amorphous multiplicity of life and our existence. Unclassifiable as an artistic object and I find this very exciting. He encourages acceptance and tolerance and openness as both an individual within society and society itself, and encourages us to explore and LEARN and to KEEP LEARNING! Tao is one of the few writers with his dial set to the right place on the meter, and I'm anticipating his next novel, Leave Society! Thanks, Tao! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Twisted Psychedelic Delight.. *by D***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2020* A rollicking psychedelic read that I highly recommend. Ok its a deeply personal anarchic account as are all such accounts, and reads at times like its fiction because of its far out nature but its subjectively real and factual even though its antics are chemically induced. One of those books I devoured and often didn't want to put down. Contains many interesting facts memories and stories about the great psychedelic bard Mc Kenna many new to me to.
