After graduating from UCL in 1992,
Simon G. Powell suffered an extended bout of 'mushroom fever' brought on by excessive psilocybin use. After this 'mushroom fever' subsided, he was left with a curious case of chronic biophilia which soon developed into chronic gaiaphilia. This condition, which turned out to be permanent and quite stimulating, led him to write a number of unorthodox books - including
The Psilocybin Solution and
Darwin's Unfinished Business. He also felt compelled to write and direct two radical film documentaries:
Manna and Metanoia.
