About the Book

The book includes conversations with celebrated visionaries and inspirational figures such as Ram Dass, Noam Chomsky, Deepak Chopra, and George Carlin. Part scientific exploration, part philosophical speculation, and part intellectual rollercoaster, the free-form discussions are original and captivating, and offer surprising revelations.

A provocative collection indeed!--Marilyn Ferguson, author of The Aquarian Conspiracy and publisher of Brain-Mind
...a winner. It's got punch, rhythm, verve...brilliantly conceived and executed, forming perhaps the best possible connection of the past thirty-five years of cultural transformation. It opens the road to the starmakers--to all who intellegently dare.--John Allen, Co-Founder and Director of Biosphere 2
This is a great collection of interviews! R.U. Sirius, Editor, Mondo 2000, coauthor of Counterculture Through the Ages

Readers who are interested in novel paradigms, especially worldviews that will help humanity survive and even prosper, will find David Jay Brown's book a source of delight, of wonder, and even of hope. Stanley Krippner, PhD, co-author of Extraordinary Dreams and How to Work with Them; Co-editor of Varieties of Anomalous Experience
Once again David J. Brown has assembled some of the most interesting minds in our culture to comment on some of the most interesting topics we can speculate about.

As an interviewer, David Jay Brown has an unusual talent for teasing out unexpected hunches, intuitions, and insights from some of the most brilliant people on the planet.
