Product Description

This, the long-awaited third volume of the "Cosmic Trigger" series, includes Wilson's witty and humorous observations about the widely spread (and, happily, premature) announcement of his demise. And, of course, what Wilson masterpiece would be complete without synchronicities, religious fanatics, UFOs, crop circles, paranoia, pompous scientists, secret societies, high tech, black magic, quantum physics, hoaxes (real and fake), Orson Welles, James Joyce, Carl Sagan, Madonna and The Vagina of Nuit.

Quite worth the read!
RAW Goes off! In this tightly-bound bundle of essays, he does one of the things he has always done-- He uncovers the masks of perception and boils to the surface a sticky substance made partly of wonder, partly of cynicism, and partly of frustration. I found myself skipping around the book in no particular order until I had read the book three times. Every now and then, I take it off my shelf, and re-read bits of it to rejuvinate my understanding of just how silly we all are, and how much that increases when we begin to take ourselves seriously.

Though he glosses over certain concepts that could merit either their own chapter, or at least a one-line clarification, most fans of UFO's, Secret Societies, Hoaxes, as well as those who enjoy studying the credulous should find endless enjoyment in this insightful, funny, and sometimes touching book from the man who may be dead, and the posthumous victim of a hoax (of himself).

fun with ideas
RAW elucidates the ineffable, satirizes the "orthodox," and humanizes the life experience.

May he live forever.
