In this quirky archive author David Jay Brown again dives in head first to the uncharted ocean of some of the strangest and most extraordinary minds on our planet. When David says "Edge" he means it. Thank goodness he's memorialized the visions and complexities of these creative, unfettered and completely unique souls. This is one of Garcia's last interviews. Enjoy and keep this book. Someday show your great-grandkids that at least a few of us had the courage to think and live big.

The interviews in this book cover topics from myth and religion to cyberspace. Well covered are sexuality, psychedelics, creativity and peaceful approaches to solving problems.I thoroughly enjoyed this book and getting exposed to the people and ideas in it.

This book is a wonderful introduction to the thoughts and philosophies of some of today's most radical thinkers. The interview format works well, as it allows for spontaneous insights from the interviewees. The subjects range from poets to scientists to cultural commentators (ie Terence McKenna), and the authors do a notably good job of revealing some common themes between all of their philosophies. If you want to know where the world is heading, read this book!

This book contains a lot of fascinating and leading-edge ideas from an array of amazing individuals. Because it's a series of interviews, it's easy to pick up and put down and read over again. I've given it to several (smart) friends over the years, and it's inspired me to read other works by and about some of the very interesting people and ideas discussed here... in a world that often seems awash with stupidity and brutality, this book offers the hope intelligence might actually still be evolving within our species.
