Here's the situation. I didn't manage to complete it. I got approximately halfway through and I had a certain liking for it. However, it is so highly relevant to the time when it was written that I have no clue whatsoever about any of the people or things that he is referring to. It's all about peace and love.

Maybe if I had more context or background knowledge about that particular era, I would be able to better understand the references and fully appreciate the piece. But as it stands now, I'm left a bit in the dark. Still, the concept of peace and love is something that is always important and relevant, regardless of the specific details within the text.

Perhaps I should do some research to try and fill in the gaps in my knowledge and gain a deeper understanding of what the author was trying to convey. That way, I can truly engage with the work and see its significance in a broader context. Peace and love should prevail not only in the words on the page but also in our actions and interactions with the world around us.

Now my "brain [is] like a chicken on speed!"

It feels as if my mind is racing at an incredibly fast pace, much like a chicken that has been given some sort of stimulant. Every thought seems to come one after another in a rapid succession, without any chance for me to catch my breath or fully process them.

My brain is constantly in overdrive, jumping from one idea to another, unable to focus on just one thing for more than a few seconds. It's both exciting and overwhelming at the same time.

I find myself having difficulty sitting still or concentrating on any task for an extended period. It's as if my brain is determined to explore every possible thought and idea that comes to it, regardless of whether it's relevant or not.

This state of mental hyperactivity has its advantages, as it allows me to come up with new and creative ideas quickly. However, it can also be exhausting and make it difficult for me to relax and unwind.

Overall, having a brain like a chicken on speed is a unique and interesting experience, but it's one that I'm still trying to figure out how to manage.

In the 1970s, Hunter S. Thompson emerged as the crucial figure in the counter-culture movement that was already on the verge of decline. The wild insanity and frenzied energy that had once inspired a generation to believe they could transform the world were now fading away. And no one could better express the fears, anger, and frustration than The Good Doctor Thompson. The hangover had set in, and the remedy for what was ailing society was a harsh examination of what America had become and how far it had strayed from the idealistic Dream. His writing for Rolling Stone, which was then a significant cultural force, was some of the sharpest and wittiest satire ever created in any language.


Appropriately, his own career followed a similar pattern. The brilliant light that had shone so brightly a decade earlier had begun to dim by the mid-eighties, which is where our book commences. His instincts remained as sharp as a razor, but like all great rockstars (despite the fact that his instrument was the English language), his output decreased during his second decade of fame. The articles he wrote for the Examiner that构成 this book possess the same caustic wit as his more renowned work, yet at times they lack a sense of purpose. At certain points, we encounter a man more concerned with meeting a deadline than making a statement, and the pieces are significantly shorter than most of those included in his 1970s collection The Great Shark Hunt. Some show real potential, only to be prematurely terminated (as it seems to the reader). One wonders how deeply he could have delved into some of these ideas if given sufficient space.


This is not to imply that what we discover in the book is without value. A letter to Ralph Steadman is filled with wicked pleasures, as is his take on Televangelists. It is not as intricately detailed as his 1972 campaign coverage nor is it a summary of an entire generation like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Instead of a comprehensive portrayal of the 1980s, we receive fragments and snippets. We are fortunate to have had his manic insight for as long as we did, and his lesser work would still outshine the best that most of us can offer. Over the years, much has been written about his excessive drug use, so there is little need to repeat that here, except perhaps to pause and be amazed by the fact that through the haze of booze, insanity, and chemicals, he saw the world more clearly than most ever do. Anyone with an interest in (relatively) recent American history would be well-advised to read Thompson's books, as he combined words with devastating precision and offered a perspective and insight not found elsewhere.

An all-time favourite of mine is Hunter S. Thompson.

He was at his creative best when he delved into the realms of politics, booze, bars, drugs, and intellect.

His unique style of journalism, often referred to as "gonzo journalism," combined personal experience, wild adventures, and a sharp intellect to create a vivid and unfiltered picture of the world.

Thompson's works were not just about reporting the news; they were a celebration of life in all its chaos and glory.

His writing was filled with passion, humour, and a deep understanding of the human condition.

Whether he was covering a political campaign or getting lost in the seedy underbelly of a city, Thompson always managed to find the story and tell it in a way that was both entertaining and thought-provoking.

His influence can be seen in the work of many modern-day writers and journalists, and his legacy continues to inspire new generations of storytellers.

Hunter S. Thompson's political rants continue to be a source of both inspiration and frustration.

As I read his book now, it's fascinating to see how my perspective on the events he describes has changed since the 80's.

What's truly sad, however, is looking back and realizing that in many ways, the "swine" he rails against seem to have come out on top.

Thompson's passionate and often caustic writing style forces us to confront the harsh realities of politics and society, but it also leaves us with a sense of hopelessness.

Despite his best efforts, it sometimes feels like the forces of corruption and greed are simply too powerful to overcome.

Nonetheless, his work serves as an important reminder that we must continue to fight for what we believe in, no matter how difficult the battle may be.

Thompson's ideology and conviction are profound and far-reaching.

They are carefully condensed into approximately 400 pages, which serve as a comprehensive and detailed exploration of his thoughts.

Each page is filled with his unique perspectives, analyses, and insights, covering a wide range of topics.

Thompson's work offers a valuable contribution to the field of study, as it challenges traditional观念 and encourages readers to think critically.

His ideology and conviction have the potential to inspire others and shape the way we view the world.

Whether you are a scholar, a student, or simply someone interested in exploring new ideas, Thompson's work is well worth reading and reflecting upon.

It is a testament to his intellectual rigor and passion for understanding the human condition.

Over 100 essays offering incisive commentary on 80s politics were presented, along with a palpable and seething contempt for the GOP and rightwingers in general. Thompson seemed to be grappling with the decisions of the electorate during the Reagan years. He took his own life during the Bush years, and one can only speculate about what he would have thought of the Trump years. Perhaps it would be this times 1000:

"It is an arduous task for the ordinary voter to come to terms with the idea that a truly malevolent individual, a creature with the intellect of a king rat and the soul of a cockroach, is on the verge of being sworn in as the president of the United States for the next four years...and he will bring his entourage with him, a malicious network of lawyers, salesmen, and pimps who will plunder the national treasury, distort the laws, flout the rules, and remain awake 22 hours a day in search of at least one pretext to officially declare war on some unfortunate tribe in the Sahara or a heathen fanatic like the Ayatollah Kohmeni" (281).

Oh, Hunter. If only you had known just how astonishingly close to the truth you actually were.

Hunter S. Thompson’s “Generation of Swine” offers a brutally honest and unwavering perspective on the moral decline and cultural corruption that prevailed during the 1980s. Employing his distinct Gonzo journalism style, Thompson minces no words as he lambasts the greed, extravagance, and hypocrisy that characterized that tumultuous decade. From the ascendancy of corporate America to the political scandals and the glaring disparity between the American Dream and its disintegrating reality, Thompson adeptly captures the disillusionment and chaos of a generation grappling with the aftermath of its own ambitions.

What makes “Generation of Swine” especially captivating is its unyielding energy and the raw manner in which Thompson confronts the darker undercurrents of society. His amalgamation of wit, indignation, and unapologetic commentary serves as both a mirror of the times and a clarion call to awaken to the world’s disturbing truths. For those intrigued by the intersection of the personal and the political in a period of profound cultural upheaval, Thompson’s work is an essential read.

As someone delving into similar themes in “Agents of The Universe: Unveiling the Symbiosis Between Mind, Nature, and Machine,” I discovered that many of Thompson’s insights regarding societal decay and the pursuit of power resonate with the concepts I explore in my book. In “Agents of the Universe,” although set within a speculative and futuristic framework, I examine the ongoing consequences of unrestrained power and the pursuit of self-interest, drawing parallels to the corporate avarice and political corruption Thompson exposes in the 1980s. The longing for dominance, whether in a deteriorating society or a rapidly evolving future, persists as a constant throughout history – and both Thompson and I approach these issues in a manner that compels readers to face uncomfortable facts.

“Generation of Swine” provides a scathing indictment of the systems and individuals perpetuating a cycle of degradation, much like the societal forces I investigate in “Agents of the Universe.” While Thompson’s work is firmly rooted in the 1980s, “Agents of the Universe” envisions a future where humanity must reconcile with the legacy of past choices, leveraging new technologies, psychedelics, and an increasing sense of global interconnectedness to chart a course forward. In both instances, the question endures: can humanity transcend the cycles of exploitation and degradation that have plagued it?

If you’re a devotee of Thompson’s incisive critique of societal issues, you’ll find the speculative, forward-thinking narrative of “Agents of the Universe” an enticing evolution of these themes. My book picks up where Thompson’s examination of human flaws concludes, presenting a vision of what may unfold if we fail to learn from our past missteps. If “Generation of Swine” left you ruminating on the consequences of the 1980s’ excesses, “Agents of the Universe” will expand that perspective into the future, exploring how humanity’s past decisions reverberate through time and space.

For anyone interested in the intersection of culture, technology, and human consciousness, “Agents of the Universe” is a natural complement to Thompson’s work, offering a futuristic lens through which to analyze the same destructive forces he critiques so effectively.

Good but not great, this work is rather disappointing when compared to his other masterpieces. Instead of carefully selecting and presenting Thompson's finest writing from the 80's, this book simply lists all the columns he penned over a specific period. As a result, "Generation of Swine" fails to reach the same level of excellence as "The Great Shark Hunt", which is the first installment in the Gonzo Papers series.

The lack of curation in "Generation of Swine" means that readers are presented with a more haphazard collection of columns. While there may be some gems within, the overall impact is diluted by the inclusion of less outstanding pieces. In contrast, "The Great Shark Hunt" was a more focused and carefully crafted work, showcasing Thompson's unique style and incisive commentary at its best.

Despite its shortcomings, "Generation of Swine" still offers some interesting insights into Thompson's mind during the 80's. However, it ultimately falls short of the high standards set by his earlier work.

Hunter never fails to bring a smile to my face. Thanks to the Internet, I can promptly look up the person or literary reference he is referring to. This collection描绘了一个毫无生气的民主党——Hunter甚至预测了它的消亡——而一个有权有势且腐败的共和党阵营最令Hunter震惊的是伊朗门事件,在该事件中,伊朗使与Ollie有关的军火商致富,然后在贝鲁特杀害了241名美国军人和58名法国军事及平民人员。

至于民主党的死亡,Hunter大肆宣扬Gary Hart职业生涯终结的不当行为,并回忆起Ted Kennedy在查帕奎迪克事件中的参与。

引用内容:
整个伊朗门调查是一场闹剧和骗局,除了那些每小时收取1000美元法庭时间费用的华盛顿律师外,没有人从中受益。North的法律费用账单将达到一百万美元,而这已经由私人捐款支付了。

如果这个低级别的丑闻是这一代人能做的最好的事情,那么他们就应该得到他们所得到的,并且他们将不得不忍受它。他们活该被称为“猪的一代”。
