Alien Information Theory

Alien Information Theory by Andrew Gallimore aims to explain how DMT will allow us to see a higher dimension of reality than we currently can do. The book starts by explaining the neuroscience of psychedelics in a very informative, imaginary, and grounded way. Then from chapter 9 onward the reader is launched into hyperspace and Gallimore tries to convey how we are part of a larger HyperGrid (of information) that DMT is able to connect us to.

Autism on Acid

Autism on Acid is an amazingly personal book written by Aaron Paul Orsini and documents his transformational experience with a variety of LSD dosages and how they have helped him in his struggles with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The book can be best seen as a case-study and an invitation for more research to be done. But that being said, it’s an incredible case study and one that under four hours (do get the audiobook) will impact not only your mind, it will also touch your heart.

Storming Heaven

Storming Heaven: LSD and The American Dream by Jay Stevens recounts the history of LSD and the counterculture of the 1960s. The book highlights the role that LSD played in many pivotal moments in (counter) cultural history.

Manifesting Minds

Manifesting Minds is an anthology of articles from the MAPS Bulletin, edited by Rick Doblin and Brad Burge. It contains the highlights of articles written until 2014, grouped per subject.

The Psychedelic Renaissance

The Psychedelic Renaissance by Ben Sessa offers an enthusiastic, level-headed, and much-underappreciated overview of psychedelics and their potential. The book offers a good overview of what we know about psychedelics (research), what policies and counter-culture there has been, and what the current renaissance is poised to bring to the table.
