Join Robert Anton Wilson and V. Vale as they discuss Wilson's ideas and experiences as a writer, eclectic philosopher, and noted conspiracy expert. In this recently rediscovered (and previously unpublished) interview from 1985, Wilson shares his thoughts on his favorite writers (such as William S. Burroughs and Philip K. Dick), critiques occultist Aleister Crowley, advocates for agnosticism about all ideas, and humorously illuminates how to upgrade your "brain software".


Speaking to us from 1985, Robert Anton Wilson seems to be directly addressing our present world. Included is a list of fifty book recommendations from his library, letters, a list of lecture topics, and more.


Lushly illustrated with Yoshi Yubai's street photography.

Description

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.
