Review: A perrenial favorite of mine. Wilson is my hero; next to Burroughsian beats, Leary the Mad Leprechaun, and Quantum Physics-- which by no coincidance, RAW got me hooked on. Wilson has spun a titillating web of Indraic beauty in the omnidirectional expanding noos-sphere. Have fun with your head and read this or any of Wilson's mind candy manuals...HOO!

Summary: Not Wilson at his best, but some definite treasures
Review: This book resembles a collection of essays, except he has tied them together with cut-up sequences like those found in his Illuminatus! Trilogy. He covers a variety of subjects, including a description of the method used to produce the cut-ups.

I didn't find this book as dazzling as some of his others, the cut-ups didn't seem to work as well as in Illuminatus!, and it even dragged a bit at times.

However, the book certainly does have some great parts. For example, "The Persecution and Assassination of the Parapsychologists as Performed by the Inmates of the American Association for the Advancement of Science under the Direction of the Amazing Randi" is required reading on Mr Randi, and I keep the book on hand so that I can pass it off to anyone who mentions the Randi Prize.
