Combining ideas from a mix of disciplines, the book also delves into more esoteric branches of learning, like Scientology, anarchist theory, rapture prophesies, psychic channeling, and neo-Malthusianism. The book's central premise is that a dramatic inflation in the value of consciousness and autonomy beginning in the 1970s accompanied a recognition of the state's refusal to safeguard such values."-- UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=2439221&site=eds-live&custid=s3260518 ER -
