In these collected essays, Timothy Leary explains his belief that humans
are morphing into space beings. He describes eight circuits of human
metamorphosis, analyzing in depth the consciousness -- and its purpose
-- manifested by each change. Fifteen chapters cover a range of topics
from "Spinning Up the Genetic Highway" to "Neurogeography of Terrestrial
Politics" to "Twelve Stages of Post-Cultural Evolution." In each of
these insightful pieces the author describes the complicated
psychological metamorphosis that precedes the launch of humans into
space beings. This collection of Leary's early work at his imaginative
and provocative best had an enormous impact on psychology and the
humanist movement.
