EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL: Conspiracies, Cults & Cover-Ups
by Wilson, Robert Anton
ISBN: 0062734172
Publisher: Harper Collins
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 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.
