Flashbacks

Timothy Leary's autobiography — covering his Harvard years, his transformation into a psychedelic guru, his imprisonment, escape from prison (aided by the Weather Underground), and exile in Algeria and Switzerland.

Primary source document for the 1960s counterculture from its most controversial figure. The Harvard psilocybin project and its fallout. Leary's relationship with the Kennedys, the Panthers, and the Weather Underground. His chameleon-like self-reinvention: Harvard professor → psychedelic guru → fugitive → prisoner → Silicon Valley futurist. A life that reads as pure American mythology.
