In the summer of 1965 the informal parties that Ken Kesey was holding at his house in Palo Alto, California were about to evolve into what became known as the 'Acid Tests'. These spontaneous anarchic gatherings spread their tentacles far and wide until an entire generation seemed to be under their spell. Fifty years on from the Merry Pranksters multimedia mayhem, author Rob Chapman explores in crystalline detail the history, precedents, and cultural impact of LSD, from the earliest experiments in painting with light and immersive environments to the thriving avant-garde scene that existed in San Francisco long before the Grateful Dead and the Fillmore Auditorium.
