Worth a read for an alternative history of the counter culture: "Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream"

Thanks for the recommendation. I've read a little about this topic online, and while proponents often veer off into IMO very shaky territory, the basic plot line seems quite solid and backed up by evidence.

Edit: Looks like you work on htmx? If so, very cool project.

If you're interested in a podcast tackling this sort of material while trying to stay true to facts I highly recommend Subliminal Jihad. They even have an episode on Weird Scenes. https://www.patreon.com/subliminaljihad/posts

Be warned, if you start with the very first episode it's a little scattered and difficult to follow as the hosts find their footing, but it really picks up from there.
