About this title

Synopsis

"Rebels & Devils" brings together some of the most talented, controversial and rebellious people of all time. Many - such as William S. Burroughs, Dr Timothy Leary, Robert Anton Wilson and Aleister Crowley - are world famous. Others contributors, such as James Wasserman, S Jason Black and Peter J Carroll, are well-accomplished in their own fields. Still others are lesser-known - for now. But every contributor, in every article, in every aspect of their lives, has had but one focus: to bring freedom to their world. In all of human history the essence of the independent mind has been the need to think and act according to standards from within, not without.To follow one's own path, not that of the crowd. Inevitably it follows that anyone with an independent mind must become 'one who resists or opposes an authority or established convention': a rebel. Usually rebellion is done so quietly that no one notices. But when others - especially others with power - recognise the disobedience, the rebel becomes the REBEL. And if enough people come to agree with - and follow - the REBEL, we have a DEVIL. Until, of course, still more people agree. And then, finally, we have ...GREATNESS.
