You Can't Always Get What You Want: A Novel About Free Will

Darryl Robert Schoon is known for his writings on economics and metaphysics. In Time Of The Vulture (2007), ordered by readers in twenty-five countries, he predicted the financial crisis that began in 2008. You Can't Always Get What You Want: A Novel About Free Will, is set in the San Francisco Bay Area during the hippie drug-dealing era.

Sometimes, in the early morning hours the conversation I had with the monkey comes back to me. The conversation occurred when I had a summer job at the biological sciences lab at UC Davis. For reasons unknown to me then and now I had dropped acid at work. Maybe I had dropped out of boredom or maybe I did it because I was supposed to hear what the monkey had to say. I don't know, but I do know when I heard the monkey's words in my head, I wasn't surprised in the least. Sweeping the floor in front of his cage, I had looked up and noticed this animal watching me. I remember my first thought: "Wow, check out this monkey!" And as I stood there tripping, I heard the words in my head that are as clear today as they were then: "Who do you think you are anyhow? At least I know I'm in a cage."
