Description
Before the X-Files, before alt.conspiracy, there was Robert Anton Wilson and his legendary Illuminatus! Trilogy. Now this avatar of conspiriology, renowned for his razor wit and progressive philosophy, takes you on a fascinating, eclectic ride through what Wilson has termed the "Cultic Twilight" where conspiracy theories flourish. Everything Is Under Control covers the range of Wilson's kaleidoscopic knowledge, from John Adams to the Voronezh (former Soviet Union) UFO sighting, the Campus show more Crusade for Cthulhu to the Mothman prophecies, and everything in between. What do the Freemasons, the Kennedys, and Princess Diana have in common? All are at the center of gigantic conspiracy theories with incredibly complex and endlessly multiplying twists, turns, highways and byways. Arranged by alphabetical entries which include cross-references to other entries in the book and also provide addresses to related sites on the Web, this book is truly interactive--you can dip in, read through, or follow one of the URLs from an interesting entry onto the internet. What some famous people say about Robert Anton Wilson: "A dazzling barker hawking tickets to the most thrilling tilt-a-whirls and daring loop-o-planes on the midway to higher consciousness." --Tom Robbins "Wilson managed to reverse every mental polarity in me, as if I had been pulled through infinity." --Philip K. Dick "One of the most important scientific philosophers of his century--scholarly, witty, scientific, hip and hopeful." --Dr. Timothy Leary show lessTags

This book is just the kind of excellent, well-researched nonsense you would expect from Robert Anton Wilson, author of the famous 'Illuminati' books. Wilson digs into all the crackpot theories, secret societies, assassination plots, and other high weirdness that those who wear tin-foil hats subscribe to.
Want to know who REALLY killed Marilyn? Who's behind the eye in the pyramid on the dollar bill? Who pulls the President's strings?
Sorry. You're not cleared for that.
Thankfully, Wilson is.
FNORD.

Reread after many years. Well, conspiracies are still a hot topic, but the actors have changed--except for perennials such as the Zionists and the Illuminati
Pre-911, but it's amazing how little events, even big events change the important foci of paranoia. So still a good basic guide to our paranoid fixations.
The Cliff Notes of conspiracies! Bonus bulldada at no extra charge!
