Paul Levy, the author of Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil and many other books, recently sent me a few words about my new book, Beyond the Robot: The Life and work of Colin Wilson. I had sent Paul a copy after I saw his article about Wilson’s Lovecraftian science fiction novel The Mind Parasites. Paul saw a connection between Wilson’s parasites, sucking human creativity dry, and the spiritual malaise he speaks of as Wetiko, and which he has written much about. I read Paul’s article and could see what he meant, and thought he might be interested in knowing more about Wilson’s work. I think my hunch was right. He writes:
“In Beyond the Robot: The Life and Work of Colin Wilson, author Gary Lachman has done us a great service in illumining what an original and inspired thinker Wilson was. In the process of doing so, the question arose in my mind as reader: is Lachman himself stepping into becoming the modern-day Colin Wilson? This is one of those rare books that I read cover to cover, not wanting to miss a word. I simply loved it!”
