But once he gets deep below the surface, past the caricatures and into the essence of their collective cultures, he discovers that both groups have tapped into the human need for community. Rabin also grapples with his own mental well-being—he discovers that he is bipolar—and his journey is both a prism for cultural analysis and a deeply personal exploration, equal parts humor and heart..

I'm a Phish fan, and I have no firm opinion on ICP; my rating is not a reflection of the subject matter. At least half of this book is this guy writing about writing this book -- like a less lovable Hunter S. Thompson. And he uses the word "oeuvre" maybe a half-dozen times.
