'Psychedelics Now' by Assouline is a mind-bending journey into the psychedelic aesthetic unfolding in the cultural zeitgeist today. Featuring Yayoi Kusama’s polka-dot fantasy worlds, FriendsWithYou’s ecstatic rainbows, and Bjarke Ingels’s utopian optic architecture, author Julia Chaplin explores four distinct themes: Rainbow Utopists; Afrofuturists; Cosmic Technophiles; and Spiritualizers, to consider how creative minds — across fashion, art, design, architecture and lifestyle — are using psychedelics to imagine and realize a brighter world. Chaplin suggests the potential of psychedelics for transforming personal and collective power and consciousness. This vital, thrilling edition is a must-have for artists, thinkers, and psychonauts.
