The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test

A new phenomenon, in 1968, baffled the american imagination: the transformation of the "promising middle-class youth with all the advantages" into what was popularly known as "the hippie." In 1964 Ken Kesey, Tom Wolfe, Neal Cassady and the Marry Pranksters took the road on a psychedelic painted school bus, the “Furthur”. This journey, reported by the vivid new journalism style of Wolfe prose, will drive them across the country, on a crucial experience the will set the imaginary of the psychedelic movement for generations to come.
