*Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas* by Hunter S. Thompson is a seminal work of gonzo journalism that immerses readers in a frenetic journey through 1970s America. The book chronicles the escapades of Raoul Duke, a journalist, and his attorney, Dr. Gonzo, as they embark on a drug-fueled road trip to Las Vegas. Their quest to find the American Dream quickly devolves into a chaotic and surreal adventure filled with vivid hallucinations and sharp social commentary. Through a blend of dark humor and raw insight, Thompson critiques the moral decay and disillusionment of the era, offering a scathing and entertaining look at the countercultural revolution.
