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.
