The Greenwich Village Trilogy

A series of three related Speculative Fiction novels by three different authors, published over the end of the 1960s and the very beginning of the 1970s.


 * The Butterfly Kid (1967) by Chester Anderson
 * The Unicorn Girl (1969) by Michael Kurland
 * The Probability Pad (1970) by T A Waters

Set In a World where the hippie counterculture of the 1960s is still a vibrant and living thing in the late 1970s, almost at the tipping point where it stops being "counter" and becomes the culture, the Trilogy explores just how unreal "reality" as perceived by the average person actually is.

 * Author Avatar/Tuckerization: Each book features an avatar character based on (and named for) the author, as well as appearances by the other two authors.
 * Twenty Minutes Into the Future: The Butterfly Kid is explicitly set in 1976 -- nine years into the future from its publication date -- and the subsequent books are set not too long afterward.
