Verso la fine degli anni '70 Ted Simon percorse 63.000 miglia in quattro anni attraverso cinquantaquattro paesi in un viaggio che lo portò in giro per il mondo. Attraverso crolli, prigioni, guerre, rivoluzioni, disastri e una comune californiana, viaggiò nelle profondità della paura e raggiunse le vette dell'euforia. Incontrò persone straordinarie e fu trattato come una spia, uno straniero gradito e persino un dio. Per Simon il viaggio divenne un viaggio nella sua anima e per molti altri, tra cui i motociclisti Charley Boorman ed Ewan McGrergor, fornisce un'ispirazione che non dimenticheranno mai. Nota: il testo inizia a pagina 7 "fisica" e pagina 8 è la seconda pagina del testo.
