In March 1997, 39 people in Rancho Santa Fe, California, ritually terminated their lives. To outsiders, it was a mass suicide. To insiders, it was a graduation. Benjamin Zeller not only explores the question of why the members of Heaven's Gate committed ritual suicides, but interrogates the origin and evolution of the religion, its appeal, and its practices. By tracking the development of the history, social structure, and worldview of Heaven's Gate, Zeller shows that the movement was both a reflection and a microcosm of larger American culture.

Interesting if dry.

it reads more like a research paper than a book, so it helps if you are at least somewhat familiar with and interested in the worldview of this group already. I don't know why, but I got to the point where if the author wrote the word "pastiche" one more time I intended to lose my free king mind entirely.
