What if Alan Turing, founder of the modern computer age, escaped assassination by the secret service to become the lover of Beat author William Burroughs? What if they mutated into giant shapeshifting slugs, fled the FBI, raised Burroughs’s wife from the dead, and tweaked the H-bombs of Los Alamos? A wild beatnik adventure, compulsively readable, hysterically funny, with insane warps and twists—and a bad attitude throughout.

Be Not Content,
by William J. Craddock
Ebook ISBN: 9780984758531
Print ISBN: 9780984758555
Be Not Content is a coming-of-age novel set in San Jose, California in the early Sixties—describing William Craddock's experiences as a young acidhead. This is a hip, profound, and wonderfully-written book, a unique chronicle of the earliest days of the great psychedelic upheaval. Be Not Content is filled with warmth and empathy, tragic at times, and very funny in spots, a wastrel masterpiece where laughter plays counterpoint against the oboes of doom. A mystical underground masterpiece that's been unobtainable for years. Brought back to life by Transreal Books via an agreement with Craddock's estate.
