"Far Out Man is the story of a man who has been a seeker his entire life, and occasionally, a finder as well. In 1984, Eric Utne launched the Utne Reader. He had hope--he wanted to prove that the Love Revolution of the Sixties was alive and well and impervious to cooptation, and he devoted the magazine to bringing people together in order to make the world a better place. This book serves as a chronicle of both an individual life and a generation, covering the madness of the Vietnam era, the hopes and excesses of the sexual revolution and the Me Decade, the idealism and depredations of the entrepreneurial Eighties and Nineties, and the promise and perils of the digital age. Ultimately, Far Out Man is the story of Eric Utne's lifelong search for hope, how he lost it (after Trump's election), and what he found on the other side that keeps him going and sustains him in his darkest moments. This book is dedicated to helping each and every seeker find, or become, themselves, and to thereby help heal our broken world"-- Provided by publisher.
