Rated 5 starsA happy accident
I first picked up this book out of curiousity when it was among the "Staff Picks" at Forbidden Planet book shop in NYC.Challenging interviewing that gets to the core can only come from a writer who chooses to be interested as well as interesting.I always like when work like this is smart but not detached.

This book documents some of his finer moments, and it is great to see some of these groundbreaking artists get the attention...

In fact, familiar as I am with many of the concepts, strategies and commentaries discussed with incredible honesty...

Rated 5 starsThe Most Interesting People You've Never Heard Of
Alright, well maybe some people have heard of the people interviewed in this book - Howard Bloom or Robert Anton WIlson perhaps - but how many really know much about radionics expert Duncan Laurie or artist-futurist Paul Laffoley?Certainly not the previous reviewer, because if he'd actually read the book he'd know that the disinfo.com website is run out of New York, Metzger is based in LA and he's never appeared at the Prophets...
