Sinopsis
'Law and Order’ on acid and in Hell–only Robert Anton Wilson could conjure a courtroom punk rock drama blending Marilyn Monroe, the Marquis de Sade, Gurdjieff, the American Medical Association (aka the world’s greatest rock band) and the HORROR of the condition on planet Earth. Wilhelm Reich, infamous Austrian-American psychoanalyst and researcher, whose books were burned by Hitler, Stalin and the U.S. government, finds himself again accused of Thoughtcrime. Offered a final attempt to free mankind from its “emotional plague,” Reich leads his own defense amid a surreal and frightening spectacle of sex, violence, fascism and liberation.
