Robert Anton Wilson developed the story of the Illuminati, a conspiracy as old as time itself, as a vehicle to amuse and enlighten. A leading writer and legendary thinker, Wilson's best-selling books, The Illuminatus Trilogy and Cosmic Trigger, have delighted readers the world over.

In the Illuminati Papers, Wilson speaks through characters from his novels and other realities to present his views on our future way of life. Includes such topics as: the HEAD Revolution, Secrets of Evolution, How to Eliminate Stupidity, Illuminati Interoffice Memos, the Position Papers of Hagbard Celine, Economic Liberation, and the usual gang of lunatics, mystics and charlatans clamoring for a New Social Order.

'Wilson is one of the most profound, important, scientific philosophers of this century -- scholarly, witty, hip and hopeful.' -Timothy Leary

'Robert Anton Wilson walks the tightrope between coincidence and conspiracy with visionary grace.' -Paul Krassner
