A landmark work of countercultural thought, Play Power presents Richard Neville's passionate and irreverent manifesto for the youth revolution of the late 1960s, arguing that play, creativity, and radical freedom are the true antidotes to a repressive, consumer-driven society. Written with wit, energy, and a provocateur's sharp eye, it chronicles the global underground scene — from the hippie communes of London and Amsterdam to the protest movements sweeping America and Australia — painting a vivid portrait of a generation determined to rewrite the rules of civilization. Neville illustrates how music, drugs, sexual liberation, and alternative media became weapons of cultural resistance, weaving together personal anecdote, journalism, and polemic into a thrillingly readable whole. Decades after its original publication, it remains an essential document of the era, capturing both the exhilarating optimism and the contradictions of a world on the cusp of transformation.
