Strange Attractor: The Hallucinatory Life of Terence McKenna is a biography of the 20th century’s psychedelic renaissance man. Perfecting his rugged philosophy on the role of psychedelics in evolution, consciousness, and time, McKenna was a riotous provocateur who charted the edges of mind and matter with razor wit and poetic charm. Having quickly sold out its first print run, described by Dennis McKenna as “the definitive biography" of his brother, Strange Attractor chronicles the life and work of a stand-up philosopher, rogue scholar, and surreal oracle.

Strange Attractor is a landmark biography that captures the dazzling complexity, contradictions, and cultural legacy of one of the most original thinkers of the modern psychedelic movement. . . Richly layered, blending academic rigor with a storyteller’s flair, Strange Attractor stands as the definitive biography of McKenna. Erudite, vivid, and deeply humane, it establishes him not as a relic of psychedelic history but as a thinker whose time, paradoxically, may still lie ahead.
