Think about it... your greatest nights at the club do not arise from simple cause and effect. Many factors must optimally combine for you to have a peak experience. Social factors, the physical state of your body, your mental state, your shoes and dress, how you combine the motion of your various body parts, and more... these meld with the music your DJ is throwing down. When everything goes right, your dance becomes 'emergent'. That is, your moves are synthesized within an evolving moment of time without conscious thought or planning. You become freer than any other time in your life.

For young people, this memoir will clue you in to how things may go down when you get old. It will help you guide your life. For my fellow baby-boomers, you should get a kick out of the wild tales of my last year at the club. The memoir is a fun read even if you don't give a damn about club dancing.
