Psychedelic Now

We are experiencing a psychedelic renaissance not seen since the 1960s, but today psychedelics emphasize mental balance, creativity and positivity, and it could prove a powerful tool to help elevate people’s consciousness to work together to solve global problems. The psychedelic resurgence presented in these pages is just revving up. It has the potential to dramatically change how we perceive the world. Can happy things put one in a better mood? And if everyone is in a better mood, does the world become happier? If people believe it, and move toward it, then this hopeful fantasy could become our collective reality.

This colorful volume explores the contemporary psychedelic aesthetic unfolding in the cultural zeitgeist across fashion, art, design, architecture and lifestyle. Consider Yayoi Kusama’s bright polka-dotted fantasy worlds, Marni x No Vacancy Inn’s vibrant beach Africana, artist duo FriendsWithYou’s ecstatic rainbows and candy-colored kawaii creatures or Burning Man habitué Bjarke Ingels’s utopian optic architecture. 
Author Julia Chaplin elaborates four distinct themes: Rainbow Utopists (rapper A$AP Rocky, designer Marco Ribeiro), Afrofuturists (musician George Clinton, rapper-designer Kid Cudi), Cosmic Technophiles (stage designer Es Devlin, artist Leo Villareal) and Spiritualizers (artists Olafur Eliasson and James Turrell), all dreaming and working toward a brighter world.

Book Care Guidelines

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your book, we recommend the following:

* Handle with Care: Always use clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt onto the pages and cover.
* Protect from Sunlight: Avoid direct sunlight, which may cause fading or discoloration over time.
* Store Properly: Keep books in a cool, dry place, upright on a flat surface, and away from heat or moisture.
* Dust Gently: Use a soft, dry cloth or feather duster to clean the cover and page edges.
* Open with Caution: Do not force the spine flat, especially on new books, to prevent damage to the binding.
* Avoid Food and Drinks: Keep books away from liquids and food to prevent accidental spills and stains.
* ⁠Less Spine Stress: Bookstands support the spine without forcing it flat, which helps prevent cracking or warping.
