An intimate portrayal of drug induced psychosis and the dissemination of one's individuality, identity and consciousness. I hope Bob slowly regained some of his neural control again, took down New Path, and romanised with Donna - although I think his reality is much more bleak. Which, is accurate: drugs can do irreversible damage to us and this is quite an important book to illustrate that.
