The only person whose books were burned by the Nazis, the Soviets, and the Americans!
Not much by way of past threads, but he sometimes pops up in HN comments: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=%22wilhelm%20reich%22&sort=byDate&type=comment.
There was a documentary not too long ago: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/wr1897. Has anyone seen it?
Kate Bush's lovely "Cloudbusting" is about Reich, based on the book his son wrote about driving around the Maine countryside with his father and his cloudbusting machine. Donald Sutherland plays Reich in the video, and Kate the son. The book is seen sticking out of her pocket in one frame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pllRW9wETzw, https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=kate%20bush%20cloud&sort=byDate&type=comment
