Psychedelic Prophecy
Description
Ever wonder about sci fi predictions coming true? Are we closer to George Orwells 1984 or Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World? And if so, whats yet to come?
Many speculative works written in the past, today read less like fiction and more like prophecy. Join Miles Hunt and Voytek Bereza for a concise presentation and open discussion on the psychedelic prophecy that have since come true. We’ll compare Huxley, Terence McKenna and John Lilly.
Following in the footsteps of Huxley, one of the most celebrated psychedelic users and writers, Miles Hunt has written his own utopian and dystopian novels, The Storyteller and The Information Editor. He’ll share what it was like to write them, the challenges along the way, and how psychedelics shaped his vision of a better future. Is that vision humanity’s best hope?
This event is part of The Mystery School, a new lecture series from the Australian Psychedelic Society Sydney Chapter, exploring psychedelics, memetics, biohacking and human heuristics.
