Growing up Mormon during America’s early-1980s satanic panic, Bigelow escapes the religion’s bland conformity by playing Dungeons & Dragons. After graduating from high school in 1984, he dives into sex, drugs, and the counterculture via Salt Lake City’s punk and new-wave scenes, as echoed from London, New York, and especially Los Angeles. As Bigelow explores the underground, he rejects myths of supernatural good vs. evil, living instead by the D&D concept of chaotic neutrality. During LSD trips, however, he starts sensing an unseen dimension.

this book feels like an utterly confused series of journal entries of a young man coerced into religious conformity. His period of acid "frying" seemed to come during a period of great immaturity in his life and the insights of taking acid were hardly noteworthy. The writer admits grandiose fantasizing from time to time but the book becomes a bit exhausting towards the end as he embraces some of these illusions and justifies his prejudices towards his previous peer group. The book ends in an eerily similar way to Orwell's 1984. Ultimately the writer embraces big brother.
