The Time Wave / works of Terence McKenna
Book •
Terence McKenna proposed the 'timewave' theory, a controversial hypothesis linking novelty and historical events to a mathematical pattern forecasting a peak around 2012.
His talks and writings blend ethnobotany, anthropology, and speculative metaphysics, arguing that cultural evolution trends toward increased complexity and novelty.
McKenna popularized the concept through lectures, recorded talks, and books, influencing New Age and psychedelic communities.
While not a conventional single-volume work titled 'The Time Wave,' the idea is central to several of his publications and presentations.
The theory is debated and often viewed as speculative, but it remains influential among those discussing shifts in collective consciousness.
