I finished this book in 20 minutes flat. One point the book makes (made elsewhere) is that information content of something is the level of unpredictability. The info content of this book is zero. Everything they try to say has been said better elsewhere and without Hyatt's trademark pathetic attempts to sound impressively self-deprecating and use of a variety of fonts and pictures which is apparently supposed to shock the reader out of their robot like existence. O, if only we could all be earth walking gods like hyatt.

The review title refers to Hyatt as he really is the biggest hack in the business. Fortunately this is the first book of his i've actually paid for and i should have known better than to get it, but alas, i was lured by antero alli's name, whos book- angel tech, was actually a good read.

Don't let hyatts style brow beat you into thinking he is something he's not. Sure, if you look long enough you will find wisdom in his words and his "far out" pictures, just as you'd find it in any text if you tried hard enough. That is the nature of things. But hyatt is not someone to admire or seek guidance from regarding developing a greater affinity with life, the universe and everything and there are much better books to spend money on.

Are you ready to give birth? I bet you did not even know you were in labor. Well, its time to wake up and take the test. What test you ask? The Bi-Polar Brain Test of course. Its not hard, and you cant fail either (or pass for that matter). Its a skill monitor and change and alter perceptions as you read on. What you will learn, and what I found most ingenius, is that you and I and everyone in the world are chemistry kits. We have built in pharmacies! Why go out and buy alcohol when we can produce it ourselves? Why pay lots of money for acid when your brain is primed for such a state of existence! It wants it! And so do you!! And Christopher Hyatt and Antero Alli are just the tour guides to get you to that state of consciousness. In a fun picture filled fashion reminescent of Timothy Leary and Robert Anton Wilson with Alli and Hyatts own worldly wise witticisms that one can adore so easily. A book to run out and get at your local drugstore. Hurry,, before they sell out! Oh..I am sorry, they obviously did sell out since this book is now out of print. Well, seemingly like a lot of good books they are forgotten and the presses are held up until further notice. Check your usedbook.com store or one in your hometown, see if they got it. If they do, get it. And even more so, get Antero Alli's Akashic Record Player which is a precursor to this marvelous book!! Love It!
