Robert Anton Wilson: Beyond Conspiracy Theory

Robert Anton Wilson (1932-2007; author of Illuminatus! (trilogy), Cosmic Trigger, Prometheus Rising, and Schrodinger's Cat was a writer, eclectic philosopher, and noted conspiracy theorist.

This book is based on a lengthy 1985 interview, where common and pernicious errors in language are examined in detail, along with a discussion of Wilson's favorite writers (such as William S. Burroughs and Philip K. Dick) and a critique of occultist Aleister Crowley. He humorously illuminates how to use your brain "better," and how to be agnostic about everything brought to us by the media.

Included is a list of fifty book recommendations from his library, letters, a list of lecture topics (funny!) and more. RE/Search finally presents its interview that was considered lost-and its publication couldn't be more timely. With the election of Donald Trump, conspiracy theory and "fake news" has become mainstream-and it was Robert Anton Wilson who prophesied this.
