A collection of letters exchanged between Aldous Huxley and Humphry Osmond, documenting their intellectual and personal correspondence about psychedelics, consciousness, and the cultural and scientific implications of psychedelic substances in the mid-20th century. The letters reveal their evolving ideas, the coining of the term 'psychedelic,' and their efforts to navigate the social and medical reception of these drugs. The volume provides historical insight into the early psychedelic movement and the relationship between a writer and a psychiatrist.
