So many great characters and twists and turns in this tale. I was highly reticent to get into it when it started out all pompous wealthy jackassery… neat insight into the various worlds of the artist / patron scenes

The myriad ways that we can apply fungal technologies to assisting our efforts at repairing the damage to the environment, healing ourselves, and creating a better future are truly astonishing!

Wow. Just wow. The prescience of Stephenson. Incredible unveiling of information through adventure. Incredible book. Just wow. Wow.

King sure knows how to bring the cruelty in some hearts out and lay it visibly for all to see. This book certainly started horribly with the flu spread... but now the ugliness of twisted minds is taking over... where is it going?! Unclear... a battle?! The destruction of everything? Peace through surrender?

Wow. This is really creepy how accurately King seems to have written the onset of the Covid pandemic!

Getting into the western white history of hallucinogens. Very concise read.

Wow. Wildly written visions. Drama, interpersonal conflict. Young love and lust. What a tale.

Entering the twentieth century now. This book truly is fascinating. It opens up the manipulations of government agencies through the centuries to control, extort, and profit!!

Fascinating treatise on how sugar addiction drove the slave trade. This book goes all over the place... but is somehow neatly tied together with its common theme of mind altering substances.
