Here is a book that appears to be at least ten, if not twenty or even forty, years ahead of its time. It describes the isolation of a hallucinogenic drug from an ergot-type fungus ten years before the discovery of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), the testing of that drug on the unsuspecting population of a small isolated village twenty years before the mysterious "Pont St Esprit" incident, which has been attributed to secret testing of a psychoactive drug (Albarelli 2011), 1 and it identifies ergot as the secret psychoactive sacrament of the ancient mysteries forty years before the this was proposed in the multidisciplinary study The Road to Eleusis: The Unveiling of the Mysteries (Wasson et al. 1978).

Soma in Aldous Huxley's
Brave New World

"All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol; none of their defects.""..there is always soma, delicious soma, half a gramme for a half-holiday, a gramme for a week-end, two grammes for a trip to the gorgeous East, three for a dark eternity on the moon..."

"Benito was notoriously good-natured. People said of him that he could have got through life without ever touching soma. The malice and bad tempers from which other people had to take holidays never afflicted him. Reality for Benito was always sunny."

"you do look glum! What you need is a gramme of soma."

Virilio, Paul. The Original Accident. Trans. Julie Rose. Cambridge: Polity Press, 2007 [2005].

Though the accident develops and features in a number of Virilio’s books, this is the most sustained presentation of his idea of accidentology, and contains the seeds of many other books. It provides a look at Virilio’s theory of technology, his analysis of globalization, and puts forward the notion that we need public means of recalling accidents, including a novel idea for a museum of accidents.
