This book is illustrated by a British Pop artist who was once grouped alongside Allen Jones, Richard Hamilton, Peter Blake, and Antony Donaldson. Laing was deeply influenced by the experiences of William Burroughs in the Amazonian rainforest in search of 'Ayahuasca' the hallucinogenic vine with the active ingredient Dimethyltriptamine (D.M.T.), hence the title. The title for this work also came from Laing's childhood memory of a teapot in the form of an open car with a number plate that read "OKT42."
