Now voiced with vivacity and vigor by Audible Hall of Fame narrator Luke Daniels, the non-fiction swan-dive delves into the world of hippies, hedonism, and everything in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo most, Ken Kesey is best known as the author of the celebrated novel  One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest . But for Tom Wolfe, Ken was the leader of the Merry Pranksters, a band of counter-culture bohemians who traveled cross-country in a far-out, brightly painted school bus they dubbed  Furthur . The Pranksters were known for drug-fueled escapades, none more famous than the so-called “Acid Test”, wherein a party full of people would take LSD in an effort to escape the banality of reality and connect on a higher, subconscious plane. As Wolfe follows the group down their nonconformist rabbit hole, he’s led on a wild trip through the backwaters of the 1960s, encountering the era’s living legends - from The Grateful Dead to Allen Ginsberg - along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":53058651226399,"sku":"A8848","price":7.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/0546\/5119\/files\/91pYEYE5DsL._SX1500.jpg?v=1792837234","url":"https:\/\/lumobook.store\/products\/the-electric-kool-aid-acid-test","provider":"LumoBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
