Title: Classic thesis on consciousness & more
Review: Regardless of your views on drug use, this book is a must read for anyone with an open mind. It will challenge fundamental beliefs, and force you to make new ones. This is one of the best books I've ever read. Note, you can skip the middle half (e.g. the history of drug use among various societies) of this book and still come away with the essence of what McKenna is proposing.Where does consciousness come from? What spurred it's evolution? Can it evolve beyond it's present day status? Is there really a difference between "drug users" and supposed "non-drug users"? What could all these possible implications mean for humanity?Read Food of the Gods. It will change you.
