Condensed Chaos, published in the mid-1990s, offers a practical introduction to Chaos Magic, one of the fastest growing and most popular areas of contemporary Western occultism. Through this type of magic we can change our life circumstances, alter our ideals and paradigms at will or convenience, effect changes around us, and be aware of our position in the world. All acts of personal / collective liberation are magical acts. Magic is capable of leading us to rejoicing and ecstasy; to understanding and understanding; to change ourselves and the world in which we participate. Through it we can get to explore the possibilities of freedom.

Phil Hine is a British occult writer specializing in Chaos Magic. He is one of the most practical and understandable authors in the world of modern magic. It stands out for stripping the occult of all its pomp and complex jargon to present it simply, almost intuitively. For Hine, magic consists of a life force or way of life. When it comes to experimenting with it, he's a big do-it-yourself advocate. Peter J. Carroll and Robert Anton Wilson could be considered as his two main influences. Hine is the author of various essays on magic such as Prime Chaos (1993) or The Pseudonomicon (1996).
