Bruce Eisner was a long-time and notorious member of the psychedelic community. He was primarily known for his book Ecstasy: The MDMA Story, as well as for his eccentric mannerisms and participation in Usenet flame wars over the years. In 1977 he helped found the Psychedelic Education Center which, in 1990, was reincarnated as the Island Foundation based on the vision presented in Aldous Huxley's book Island. He spent the last years of his life living in Las Vegas, posting occassional blogs and working on his "work-in-continual-progress", an online book titled Future Culture: How to Make New Memes to Change the World.
