Robert Anton Wilson

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.
