Publisher's Synopsis

This is the 'Final Exit' from the guru of counterculture. Leary's final triumph, a book that tells us how to die happily and even return from the dead using ancient wisdom and high technology.

When Leary learned that he was dying of prostate cancer, he was thrilled to be embarking on life's final adventure. He began to plan to die with the same eccentric exuberance with which he lived. He died last May surrounded by his friends but before his death he mapped out this book and wrote his final testament on what he felt life and the afterlife holds for us. This book contains in Leary's trademark fashion, forceful anti-establishment attitude adjustment with a pitch for post-mortem options from cryogenics to downloading your soul onto the net. It is classic Leary: part philosophy, part memoir, part recipe and recommendations for controlling one's drug intake during dying!
