Born 11/11/1952 in Helsinki Finland, Antero Alli is the author of ANGEL TECH, TOWARDS AN ARCHEOLOGY OF THE SOUL, ASTROLOGIK, THE VERTICAL ORACLE, and THE AKASHIC RECORD PLAYER. Antero's deep background in theatre and paratheatre have resulted in numerous original performance works since 1977 and he is currently artistic director of ParaTheatrical ReSearch, a Berkeley-based group of trained physical performers exploring asocial ritual dynamics.

Since 1991 Antero has been writing, directing and producing his own films, which include six feature fictions, three paratheatre video documents and about twenty short works. Between 1991-95 he was editor and publisher of Talking Raven Quarterly, an iconoclastic literary journal in Seattle which featured the writings of Robert Anton Wilson, Hakim Bey, and Rob Brezsny among others. Between 1992 and 2002 Antero curated the successful Nomad VideoFilm Festival, a west coast touring venue dedicated to showing experimental short films and videos. In 1996 Antero teamed up with his future wife, Sylvi to form Vertical Pool as an intermedia film, music and publishing company. He is also a world renown astrologer and currently resides in Berkeley, California.

WORDS OF PRAISE

"Angel Tech is a witty, rollicking, wise rendition of the stages of evolution we have been experiencing. Antero Alli is that special brand of human -- a frontier scout for the species -- out there on the rim where the past and future intersect."
–TIMOTHY LEARY, PH.D

"Angel Tech is a brain-changing book that plucks at the reader's software and while following its techniques, the reader is surprised that his hardware has been replaced as well. Should this book be sold only by prescription ?!"
--CHRISTOPHER S. HYATT, PH.D, author of Undoing Yourself

"In addition to being a marvelous writer, the author of some genuinely novel occult psycho-manuals that have more than stood the test of time, Monsieur Alli is a fine astrologer. In addition to approaching this arcane not-a-science with a refreshing blend of revisionist candor and deep respect for the psychic density of traditional symbol systems, Alli possesses the additional gift of frank intuition."
ERIK DAVIS, author of Techgnosis

"Herein are all the great neurological scripts of the past synthesized and modernized for our day: the Tarot, Cabala, Alchemy, The Hindu Chakra System. And here, too -- priase be to the Sun Absolute! -- is a refreshing absence of the cant, the pomposity and the deliberate mystification that makes most books on those subjects virtually unreadable. Some, who like to talk of things "mystical" but have no first-hand knowledge, may find Antero's realism a bit disconcerting..."
–ROBERT ANTON WILSON


"It is not often in life we find a trusted advisor who can help us navigate the thin line between chaos and order, routine and imagination. A master of the hermeneutics of possibility, Antero brings a refreshingly punk sensibility to an art too often lost in vacuous patchouli. And Antero does it better than anyone I've come across. Anyone expecting moldy old tea leaves will find he's a shot of psychedelic Tequila."
–ALFONSO MONTOURI, PH.D, Associate Professor California Institute of Integral Studies
