How to Read the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test Online

Published in 1968, "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" is a classic nonfiction story written by Tom Wolfe, a leading journalist of the 1960s. It chronicles the adventures of Ken Kesey and his coterie of hippies called the Merry Pranksters in a turbulent era in American history. The 1960s were characterized by social and political movements, as well as new music, alternative lifestyles and widespread use of drugs, including the hallucinogenic "acid" in the title of the book. In his book, Wolfe delves into the bizarre world of Kesey, the golden boy of literature turned into a proponent of drug use and a fugitive from law in the U.S. and Mexico.
