Author and Gay Rights activist encourages the revolution of consciousness as extending past the youth to shape society from its failed American Dream. The text outlines factors inducing America's ongoing crisis: disorder and corruption, poverty, uncontrolled technology and environmental destruction, powerlessness, the artificiality of work and culture, absence of community, and loss of self. Reich also focuses on the levels of consciousness as he outlines Consciousness I with 19th century rural farmers and small business workers, Consciousness II with the 1950s and large institution-based organization, and Consciousness III for the 1960s counterculture that focuses on sex, drugs, music, and freedom.
