The much-anticipated prequel to Keenan's cult classic debut, This Is Memorial Device, Industry of Magic & Light is set in the same mythical Airdrie in the 1960s and early '70s and centres on a group of hippies running their own psychedelic light show. Told in two halves—the first in the form of an inventory of the contents of a caravan abandoned by one of the hippies, the second in the form of a tarot card reading—it is not so much a book about the 1960s as a direct channelling of the decade's energies.
