Mark Vonnegut set out in search of Eden with his VW bug, his girlfriend, his dog, and his ideals, but genetic predisposition and a whole lot of shit going down made him crazy in a culture that told him mental illness is a myth and schizophrenia is a sane response to an insane society.

Galardonada con el Premio ALA (concedido por la Asociación Americana de Bibliotecas), cuéntase entre las crónicas autobiográficas más representativas de aquella década prodigiosa.
