| Annotation | The author, who was particularly noted for his involvement in the US drug culture, offers a model for designing your own dying, stating that this is the most important thing you will do in your entire life. His book explores living and the meaning of life, with chapters on the themes of language, drugs, psychology and mutation. He describes his reactions to the prospect of dying, following diagnosis of prostate cancer. A final section, on designer dying, covers alternatives such as cryonics and nanotechnology. As publication of this book came after his death, friends remember Timothy Leary's dying performance. (RH). |
