“Tom Wolfe's portrait of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters is a document of the world Brand inhabited before the Whole Earth Catalog. He appears in it. The book captures both the utopian energy and the internal contradictions of the counterculture Brand would spend decades translating into practical tools.”Stewart Brand
