Final Visit with the Merry Pranksters

Summary

A long, informal interview and behind-the-scenes conversation centers on 1960s counterculture, Ken Kesey, psychedelics, and the San Francisco scene, with many anecdotes about buses, concerts, prison, and old friends. Later segments shift into a more reflective discussion of brain science, computers, virtual reality, mortality, and the speaker’s philosophy about thinking for oneself and facing death with dignity.
