Robert Anton Wilson, 74; Illuminatus trilogy writer - Los Angeles Times: "Robert Anton Wilson, 74; Illuminatus trilogy writer
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
January 20, 2007
Robert Anton Wilson, a futurist, philosopher and coauthor of the Illuminatus trilogy, a cult science fiction series about a secret global society, died Jan. 11 at his home in Capitola, Calif. He was 74.
Wilson had post-polio syndrome, which had severely weakened his legs and led to a fall that left him bedridden for the last seven months, his daughter Christina Pearson said.
The author of 35 books, Wilson wrote about extrasensory perception, mental telepathy, metaphysics, paranormal experiences, conspiracy theory, sex, drugs and what he called quantum psychology. He explored outrageous ideas in a serious way and once described his writing as 'intellectual comedy.'
'If my books … do what I intend, they should leave the reader feeling that the universe is capable of doing something totally shocking and unexpected in the next five minutes,' he once told Contemporary Authors, an Internet database."
