Why read it?
1 author picked The Scientist as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
John Lilly, a Caltech and University of Pennsylvania trained doctor who also probed the murkiest waters of the psychedelic experience, was the inspiration for Dade Harkenrider in my book, Ann Marie’s Asylum. Lilly was a genius, who crossed over the edge more than once.
From Christopher's list on mad scientists both real and fictional.
