This is what I hope will happen on this trip. We are beginning to each his own, and we will continue to do so as openly as possible, and none of us will oppose what others do.

While Europeans viewed the LSD como una llave sólo para los elegidos; y mientras Timothy Leary, en Nueva York estimaba que la exploración de la conciencia debía llevarse a cabo de manera científica hasta alcanzar la iluminación espiritual; Ken Kesey y sus Alegres Bromistas, consideraban imprescindible conceder la experiencia al mayor número de personas posibles, en una enorme y desinhibida fiesta. Para ello organizaron las Pruebas del Ácido, ¿Eres capaz de pasar la Prueba del Ácido? Juntaban a más de dos mil personas en un galpón lleno de parlantes diseminados, luces estroboscópicas, imágenes proyectadas en paredes y techos, los Greatful Dead inventando el acid-rock, los Alegres Bromistas diseñando catalytic environment of the trip, seeking sync, repeating their voices at intervals, like an echo, to achieve tune with the All ... were the first trance parties.
Tom Wolfe met with the protagonists of this history, and great journalistic work, set up this novel by using various literary devices. Altered consciousness monologues, narratives, euphoric, psychedelic, amphetamine, paranoid. Getting closer, not only the facts but also the mental states that Kesey and the Merry traveled Pranksters. Who, seeking to reach beyond were pursued by a system that imposes a unique game, egotistical and boring.
