" Acid discovers the explosion of LSD culture in the psychedelic sixties from new and controversial angles. David Black investigates the CIA's mind control trials using LSD and the people who turned LSD-tripping into a popular recreational pastime, including the entrepreneurs with links to organized crime. David Black unravels an extraordinary story of double-dealing, intrigue and betrayal as the drug's proponents became over night millionairesand officialdom turned a blind eye." Review: K flees from the ordinariness of common life. - Along the boulevards, the crowds tire themselves among the shops – harried, loaded with anxiety and bags K walks lightly and observes the urban scene, almost ecstatic. His gaze encompasses a wider-ranging reality than that of the common man. But at times there is something febrile, sick, in K’s gait. He wanders through The City, seems to be looking for something. And yet his destination is confused or is unattainable. His steps become nervous, exasperated: he appears as a man on the run. K flees from the ordinariness of common life. He flees from the memories and the ghosts of his own interior. The glowing phenomenal appearance fills the empty cavity of his ego. K is a man cast out onto the street by restlessness, by an impatience for the quest that haunts him and sets him apart from those who remain seated at tables simply enjoying their coffee. K wanders restless through The City like an untamed beast. She succumbs to the crowd like a wreck to the waves, letting herself be overcome by the liberating breath of anarchy. There is something voluptuous, almost orgiastic, in this dissolution.
