The Illuminatus! Trilogy is a tongue-in-cheek satire of right-wing conspiracy theories. But I guess people who really believe the 'Illuminati' runs the show from behind the scenes through the power of some dark lord, are the subject of the book's satire. I'd say Robert Anton Wilson's work is about as far removed from 'Satanism' as you are likely to come across. With his work you just have to have a good sense of humor and be prepared to put in some work to grasp his ideas. This book is a hilarious, life-changing, fun, and brilliant story which I recommend to anyone who wants to open their mind to some new ideas. (less)
