Descripción
Beware of this book. This book is dangerous. It can change your life. All great books are dangerous. This is a great book. As dangerous as life. This book speaks of life as a futile attempt to escape death. Death as the just punishment for not having known how to live. Life and death. Nobody really lives. Nobody dies either. That's the secret. Fear and loathing. The world is as corrupt as Las Vegas. A capitalist paradise where life is consumed to the limit. In the fluorescent jungle of casinos, neon sculptures and luxury hotels. To the limit of strength and energy. To the limit of the self. Exhaustion is the truth of the game. Fatal ruin, with no money or time to waste. The acid hallucination, as a new form of lucidity, usurping the place of impossible utopia. An infernal journey to the rotten heart of the American dream. The Extreme Point of Reality. The Spectacle of Reality. Gonzo Journalism. Life is scary and disgusting. Life is just that. Speeding down the desert highway in a red convertible Chevrolet towards an adults-only theme park called Las Vegas. Crossing Death Valley crammed with drugs while thinking that the difference between madness and masochism is a blur. Don't be fooled. There's nothing more. Life is disgusting and frightening. That's why it's so wonderful. Like this book. Learn to read. This book tells the truth. This book talks about you. In life as in literature.
