Welcome  to San Francisco in the Sixties, the website where you can experience it for yourself, in the only way left, through quality autobiographical fiction.

These interconnected short stories by Mark Time are darker, edgier, and more intimate than anything before. There’s murder, drug-psychosis, God, and sex, with a main character closer to Raskolnikov than Wavy Gravy. And it all really happened. Based on journals from the period, each story is self-contained, with numbered subsections, yet all are hyperlinked through recurring characters and events. Thus the stories can be read in any order.

Plus, at the beginning of each story, there are "browser aides," exemplary quotes hyperlinked to their location in that story.

The hub of the collection is the novella Amateur Insanity about the Summer of Love, 1967 in Haight-Ashbury, which was "San Francisco's greatest contribution to world culture," according to Chronicle art critic David Bonetti. It was also the epicenter for the biggest cultural transformation of the second half of the Twentieth Century, as well as a signature experience of a generation.

Experience it for yourself. Read on.
