If you're interested in the confluence of psychedelics and the digital age, I can't say enough good things about "What the Dormouse Said: How the Sixties Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry" by John Markoff. For further exploration, Markoff's book prompted me to recently purchase "Seattle Mystic Alfred M. Hubbard: Inventor, Bootlegger and Psychedelic Pioneer" by Brad Holden [2]. I haven't read it yet, but apparently Hubbard was the pre-60's Johnny Appleseed of LSD in Silicon Valley.
