The book's argument rests on three separate types of world view: The book mixed sociological analysis with panegyrics to rock music, cannabis, and blue jeans, arguing that these fashions embodied a fundamental social shift.

The book was a best-seller in 1970 and 1971, and topped the New York Times Best Seller list on December 27, 1970, and other weeks.
