Publisher's Synopsis
Before the X-Files, before alt.conspiracies, 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 "Cult 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 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-reference to other entries in the book and also provide addresses to
relates 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

This book features Wilson ("RAW") drawing upon a
lifetime of exposure to--and writing about--conspiracies to compile an
encyclopedia of things murky and hidden in the realms of politics, science,
and society. While preparing this definitive tome, RAW also searched the web
for suitable online information to augment the material presented in the book,
and has included numerous online resources as well as print references.
Few people could be as well-suited as RAW is equipped to explicate the
maelstrom of conspiratorial thinking that circulates around relatively well-
known topics such as the JFK assassination, Area 51, the Illuminati, and
Freemasonry, as well delving into as the most obscure fringe esoterica,
including MMAO, Noon Blue Apples, and the "Principia Discordia"--a possible
hoax? EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL tantalizes the reader with improbable-
sounding-yet-still-plausible ideas that--like any good conspiracy theory--lead
back and forth through the pages, always one step away from the real identity
of the people (or extradimensional beings) pulling all the strings.
However, this volume serves as an accessible starting point for anyone
interested in learning more about alternate "reality grids." Even die-hard
skeptics will find plenty to amuse.
ROBERT ANTON WILSON has authored over thirty fiction and non-fiction books
including the ILLUMINATUS! Trilogy. A self-styled "guerrila ontologist," he
is closely linked to the late Dr. Timothy Leary as a leading proponent of
consciousness expansion, and remains the preeminent expounder of alternate
cosmologies.
