How an Army of Deadheads (And Their LSD) Invented Silicon Valley

Daniel Kottke is a regular among familiar eucalyptus groves outside Stanford University's Frost Amphitheater, seeing the Dead there whenever he gets the chance. Into the '80s, the venue remains a picnic ground for Stanford research scientists and Silicon Valley characters old and new, conspiring on various levels of future building. Apple founder Steve Jobs accepts the acid from Daniel Kottke, and they go their separate ways. Spontaneously, Daniel offers his old friend a few hits of Windowpane he has in his pocket. "An old-times gesture," Daniel says.
