Nel 1964, il celebre scrittore Ken Kesey e il suo gruppo di Merry Pranksters intrapresero un "Transcontinental Bus Tour" attraverso l'America e diretti all'Esposizione universale di New York, sorseggiando aranciata tagliata con LSD (allora perfettamente legale). Questo viaggio costituisce il cuore di The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, un resoconto in prima persona delle buffonate e della filosofia del gruppo scritto da Tom Wolfe, enfant prodige del movimento del New Journalism. Celebrato come un classico della letteratura americana e del movimento hippie, il testo indaga l'esperienza esoterica degli allucinogeni e i fondamentali cambiamenti sociali nell'America degli anni '60. Questa Collector's Edition firmata da Tom Wolfe include una versione ridotta di Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test impressa tipograficamente, con facsimile di pagine del manoscritto di Wolfe, diari dalla prigione di Ken Kesey, volantini e riviste underground dell'epoca. Intrecciati alla prosa e agli altri materiali troviamo saggi fotografici di Lawrence Schiller, che si occupò della scena acid per la rivista Life e fu tra gli ispiratori di Wolfe per la sua storia, e di Ted Streshinsky, che collaborò con lo scrittore per il servizio per il New York Herald Tribune. Queste fotografie - insieme a quelle del poeta Allen Ginsberg e di altri fotografi che si occuparono della scena - dipingono una vivida rappresentazione della controcultura che fa da sfondo alla storia di Wolfe.
'I looked around and people's faces were distorted...lights were flashing everywhere...the screen at the end of the room had three or four different films on it at once, and the strobe light was flashing faster than it had been...the band was playing but I couldn't hear the music...people were dancing...someone came up to me and I shut my eyes and with a machine he projected images on the back of my eye-lids...I sought out a person I trusted and he laughed and told me that the Kool-Aid had been spiked and that I was beginning my first LSD experience...'
