In this week's American Alchemy, we interview Tom O'Neill, author of the new bestselling book Chaos: Charles Manson, The CIA and the Secret History of the Sixties. O'Neill and I went to Spahn Ranch, the famous old western movie set in Chatsworth California where the Mansons lived plotted a lot of their murders. We go through his book and its crazy thesis: that Charles Manson could have been an MK Ultra patient. What do you think?

*** AMERICAN ALCHEMY is an original series hosted by Jesse Michels that explores the frontier of science and tech. Each week, we bring you exclusive interviews with some of the leading thinkers of our time.
