Book Cover


"Chaos & Cyber Culture conveys Timothy Leary's vision of the emergence of a new humanism with an emphasis on questioning authority, independent thinking, individual creativity, and the empowerment of computers and other technologies." [jacket blurb, US pbk, 1994]


"This book is about designing Chaos and fashioning your personal disorders: on screens, with cybernetic tools; from countercultural perspectives; with informational chemicals (Chaos drugs); while delighting in cyberotics; as guerrilla artists, who explore de-animation alternatives, while surfing the waves of millennium madness to glimpse the glorious wild impossibilities and improbabilities of the century to come. Enjoy it! It's ours to be played with!." --Timothy Leary (from the book).


"The '90s are here, and the Doctor is in!" --William Gibson.


"Give me Timothy Leary's humourous, humane, entertaining challenge to our sluggish perspectives any day. This book is a romp through history from Aquaria to Cyberia. I feel my neurons perking up and snapping to attention as the fog of mass-media disinformation turns to high-definition clarity. He makes the chaos of our everyday lives sexy." --Susan Sarandon [external link].
