This short collection of expansive essays and book reviews is the first publication completely written by Gyrus, editor of the late-1990s underground magazine Towards 2012 and the ongoing periodical Dreamflesh: A Journal of Ecological Crisis & Archaeologies of Consciousness. Much like Time & Mind, the title of this anthology reflects its author’s interest in exploring the prehistory of mind and its changing states of consciousness. This is not an academic text however—although academics may find it fascinating reading—and the author makes no bones about his exploratory methods.
