RAW RIP

Robert Anton Wilson is dead.
Definately one of my favorite writers and an influence on me. I bought my brother Prometheus Rising for xmas this year.
I hearby declare a moratorium on cool people dying for the rest of the year. Helen Hill and Bob are more than enough. Only reactionary assholes can die for the rest of the year.
For some reason the library only has two books by him:
Schrodinger's cat trilogy (which I suppose is actually three books) and Everything is under control : conspiracies, cults, and cover-ups.
The Edmonton Public Library has a bunch though which you could get through inter library loan or with the Alberta Library card if you visit Edmonton:
Quantum psychology : how brain software programs you and your world, Reality is what you can get away with, Tsog: the thing that ate the constitution and other everyday monsters, and Prometheus rising.
For some reason they don't have The Illuminatus Trillogy, but they have it in St. Albert in Young Adult Fiction! Holy Fuck, I wish I read Illuminatus as a young adult!
Goodbye Bob, we'll miss you.
