One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

This book by Ken Kesey was genuinely recommended once in the episodes we index, on Joe Rogan. The people who vouched for it on air: Duncan Trussell. It comes up in conversations about consciousness, psychedelics. Every quote below is verbatim, attributed, and linked to the exact second it was said. Sourced expert opinion, not medical advice.

De tirannieke Nurse Ratched regeert haar afdeling in de psychiatrische inrichting van Oregon State met beklemmende discipline. De patiënten houden zich gedeisd door geestdodende medicatie en de dreiging van elektroshocktherapie. Haar strikte regime wordt verstoord door de komst van McMurphy, een levenslustige crimineel die doet alsof hij gek geworden is om kans te maken op een makkelijk leventje in een inrichting. Wanneer McMurhpy ziet hoe de patiënten hun dagen hier doorbrengen en hoe hun levens verpieteren, besluit hij in opstand te komen.
