Dick, Terence McKenna, and Robert Anton Wilson, High Weirdness charts the emergence of a new psychedelic spirituality that arose from the American counterculture of the 1970s.

"L'existence de Beaumarchais est une ivresse de vivre. Une suite de folles journées. Une pièce de théâtre effrénée où les personnages, tous Beaumarchais, se succèdent, se nourrissent l'un l'autre, s'allient, se contredisent, se combattent, parfois se détestent, le plus souvent s'aiment, trop. Ce serait banal si, vécues par tous ces personnages, toutes ces vies se succédaient sagement. Cet horloger, fils d'horloger, ne supporte pas la chronologie..."
