The interviews in this book cover topics from myth and religion to cyberspace. Well covered are sexuality, psychedelics, creativity and peaceful approaches to solving problems.I thoroughly enjoyed this book and getting exposed to the people and ideas in it.

In this quirky archive author David Jay Brown again dives in head first to the uncharted ocean of some of the strangest and most extraordinary minds on our planet. When David says "Edge" he means it. Thank goodness he's memorialized the visions and complexities of these creative, unfettered and completely unique souls. This is one of Garcia's last interviews. Enjoy and keep this book. Someday show your great-grandkids that at least a few of us had the courage to think and live big.
