more like religious hack but even that is too reductionist i think. he had a lot of ideas and should be read more as a springboard for your own reflections than fully realized literary attempts.

Absolutely wasn't a druggie hack, but like others have said, is more of a springboard for revolutionary though regarding intelligence, concepts of the soul, and life. Tons of other writers have been influenced by him for good reason.

Pulp shit. Sci-fi novels pushed on an unsuspecting public who wouldn't know an oboe from an elbow.

He relished the fucked up druggie image. Like a lot of kids do. He overmilked that cow and I couldn't take him seriously anymore.
