Rezensionen

The book focuses on three people who were, well, highly weird. RAWIllumination

With prose as fluid as his subjects' beliefs regarding consensus reality Erik Davis brilliantly dissects three otherworldly experiences and in doing so makes clear how a decentralized and postmodern nation the nation Americans still live within, even more fractiously became codified.
Lit Hub

Davis isn't looking to hack your common sense. Instead, he's asking the reader to question the rigid hierarchies of their perceived realties.
