Trialogues at the Edge of the West: Chaos, Creativity, and the Resacralization of the World

Summary: Sometimes chewy, sometimes fluffy
Review: As expected, nothing is out of bounds in this book and these three exciting minds careen into all sorts of spaces. Thankfully, they don't pull their punches and this sets up a very discernible edginess to their "trialogue" that helped dispel how much a marketing gimmick this book might be. It's not. They all take turns in the spotlight though and the responses are often so thoughtful that, if they did not rehearse answers, then you realize these guys are truly gifted thinkers.

McKenna fans will see some sides of the man that don't typically come out in his monologues or books. They only added to my appreciation of him.

I found the book difficult at times, sometimes because of the far-out topics and sometimes because I did not have the mathematics / physics / anthropology / psychedelics / morphogenetics / art / philosophical / etc. (you name it) grounding to keep up.

Going back and reading just one chapter gives me new insights over intial readings, almost guaranteed. An ASC (P. cubensis?) reading would quite probably also prove beneficial.
