Jon realises that its possible for our madness to be a force for good when he meets Americas real-life superheroes or a force for evil when he meets the Reverend Death George Exoo who has dubiously assisted in more than a hundred mercy killings.He goes to a UFO convention in the Nevada desert with Robbie Williams asks Insane Clown Posse (who are possibly Americas nastiest rappers) whether its true theyve actually been evangelical Christians all along and rummages through the extensive archives of Stanley Kubrick. Frequently hilarious sometimes disturbing always entertaining these compelling encounters with people on the edge of madness will have you wondering just what were capable of.
