Description

In this reconstruction of human consciousness from the Stone Age through modern technology, Türcke argues that both civilization and mental processes are the results of a compulsion to repeat early traumas, one to which hallucination, imagination, mind, spirit, and God all developed in response. He further argues that the new global forces of distraction produce a specific kind of stress that breaks down the barriers between dreams and waking consciousness.
