Fueled by alcohol and drugs, Thompson was always on the lookout for a story and was especially interested in anything that would skewer what he saw as America's hypocrisy. Thompson chronicled the cultural shift occurring in America during the late 1960s and 1970s. He was not only a cultural observer, but also a participant in that he was often the central part of his stories.

In his first book, Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga, published in 1967, Thompson, in typical gonzo journalism style, chronicled his time infiltrating the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang. "I was no longer sure whether I was doing research on the Hell's Angels or being slowly absorbed by them," he wrote about the experience.

In 1971, what began as an assignment for Sports Illustrated turned into Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream, a best-selling book based on Thompson's drug-fueled journey through Las Vegas. "We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold," reads the first line of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
