doxneed2c-me Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) I am wondering what are people's favorite books which are founded around substance use. I don't mean references like Shulgin's work but more story type books.Orange Sunshine seems interesting. Edited December 24, 2014 by doxneed2c-me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anodyne Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) About (mostly) fictional drugs... The Santaroga Barrier (& Dune series) by Frank Herbert Perdido Street Station by China Mieville Faith of Our Fathers (short story) & A Scanner Darkly by Philip K Dick Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds Neuromancer by William Gibson Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson - this is, as you might've guessed, actually a story about colonising Mars, but in KSR's imagining this also includes various longevity drugs & nootropics, and getting high on synthetic opioids & kava. About (mostly) real drugs... V for Vendetta (the book) has a great LSD scene which they left out of the movie The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King - describes the wonders of modern pharmacology as viewed by a post-apocalytic gunslinger from another dimension The Gernsback Continuum (short story from the Burning Chrome collection) by William Gibson Those are in rough order of awesomeness - China Mieville writes the best dark fantasy worlds I've ever read, and Santaroga Barrier explores the "what if everyone was tripping, all the time?" idea.
