Even if you&#8217;re not an alcoholic or drug addict, even if you&#8217;re not &#8216;in recovery&#8217; from any kind of addictive behaviour—please read this book. It&#8217;s a gonzo exploration of what it means to be human in this whacked insane civilization, how to survive it, and how to come through it to being human again.</p>
