Written by the same author as The Illuminates Trilogy this is a fantastical look at our recent past seen through a fun-house mirror. It is a satire on our violent, inexplicable world and a trip inward to expose our deepest hopes and fears.

Verschwörung, die: "die Zusammenarbeit mehrerer Personen unter einheitlicher Zielsetzung und bewusster Ausschaltung fremden oder öffentlichen Einblicks, wodurch ihr Ziel und ihre Identität verborgen bleiben." - Bundesnachrichtendienst Es gibt Charles Darwins Evolutionstheorie und es gibt Area 51.

Graphic artist Richard Rasa created artwork for Robert Anton Wilson. Rasa''s illustrations were first used by Wilson for his satirical Guns and Dope Party campaign and website, and in his book, Email to the Universe.

And herein lies both Wilson''s typically mischievous nature and serious intent - Ishtar Rising is nothing less than a mytho-feminist screed masquerading as an antique stroke book; a brilliant, compact summary of ''matrist'' attitudes, their cruel demotion and degradation, their struggle for survival, and their hoped-for triumphant restoration.

In Natural Law, Robert Anton Wilson tackles reality itself, and lays the groundwork for his future writings on Model Agnosticism. - - - Every perception is a gamble, in which we see part, not all, (to see all requires omniscience) and "fill in" or project a convincing hologram out of minimal clues. We all intuitively know the obvious and correct answer to the Zen koan, "Who is the Master who makes the grass green?" - Robert Anton Wilson, Natural Law The "Natural Law" debate has been raging around anarcho-libertarian circles for some time now. Well folks, it''s all over. "Natural Law" died an unnatural death, murdered ("executed" if you insist) by notorious stand-up comic Robert Anton Wilson. If you enjoyed pamphleteering in the old sense of the word, unabashed rhetorical mud-slinging on a high intellectual level, you will want to examine the murder weapon: Natural Law; or Don''t Put A Rubber On Your Willy. - Hakim Bey An appropriately savage attack on the "natural law" doctrines of certain "libertarian" pundits. - The Egoist Today is Maybe Day, a day inspired by the late writer Robert Anton Wilson. It was his hope that on this day people of all creeds and beliefs would come together and chant, "Jesus is the only son of God, maybe" "Hear O Israel, the Lord thy God is one, maybe" and "There''s no God but Allah, maybe, and maybe Mohammed is his prophet." At this point the world would suddenly become a far saner place. - John Higgs, writing in The Guardian The Robert Anton Wilson Trust Authorized Hilaritas Press Edition
