Title Strange Attractor: The Definitive Biography of Terence McKenna Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Boing Boing Media type Web Country/Territory United States Date 10/03/26 Description If you already know who Terence McKenna was, no selling is necessary. If you don't, this is the place to start. Though if you're reading Boing Boing, chances are you already do.
Twenty-five years after his passing, we finally have what can only be called the definitive biography: the man, the character, the ideas, the contradictions, and the enduring legacy. Graham St John's Strange Attractor: The Hallucinatory Life of Terence McKenna (MIT Press, 2025) charts the full arc: from McKenna's early explorations, inner and outer, through his ascent to global countercultural fame, to his untimely death in 2000 and the enormous outpouring of love that followed. It's a treasure trove for hardcore McKennites and a luxurious introduction for those who have only encountered his name in passing.Producer/Author Ferdinando Buscema URL https://boingboing.net/2026/03/10/strange-attractor-the-definitive-biography-of-terence-mckenna.html/amp Persons Graham St John
