Countercultural Literarure

[Agoy]

Anyone know of any countercultural literature that misses the point of countercultural movements, and misunderstands the aim that is the spreading of love + consciousness through improving society incrementally? I'm open to a range of suggested books, whether it be one's that completely misunderstand this greater aim, or one's that think they do but in actuality do not. I'm aware of 'Steal This Book' + 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', but any others are greatly welcome.

Here are some loose recommendations, somewhat in the vein of Fear and Loathing:

Ken Kesey fits somewhat alongside the works you mention: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Sometimes a Great Notion being his most notable works.

William S. Burroughs  might also fit that bill, with books such as Junkie or Naked Lunch.

The real life Jim Jones is a fascinating character that is worth reading up on if you're interested in understanding how the counter culture ethos can become corrupted and lead to a Cult.
