Ebook: Barefoot in the Head, Barfuss im Kopf, A Cabeza descalza

(The English and the German Version are synchronized page-wise)

When an undeclared Acid Head War breaks out,
Britain is the first to be devastated by Psycho-Chemical Aerosols
--tasteless, odourless, colourless psychedelic drugs, which distort the
minds of thousands of civilians into extreme terror or extreme joy.
When the warped citizens of Europe proclaim Colin Charteris their hero,
he finds himself leading an unfathomable crusade in a devastated world.
Perhaps Aldiss's most experimental work,
this first appeared in several parts as
the 'Acid Head War' series in New Worlds.
Set in a Europe some years after a flare-up in the Middle East
led to Europe being attacked with bombs releasing huge quantities of
long-lived hallucinogenic drugs.
Into an England with a population barely maintaining a grip on reality
comes a young Serb, who himself starts coming under the influence
of the ambient aerosols & finds himself leading a messianic crusade
