The illuminatus! trilogy
Book • 2012
The Illuminatus Trilogy is a complex and multifaceted work that blends elements of science fiction, satire, and conspiracy theories.
The narrative is nonlinear, switching between third- and first-person perspectives, and includes a wide range of themes such as counterculture, numerology, and Discordianism.
The story involves a millennia-old conflict between the Illuminati and the Discordian Society, incorporating historical references and surrealist fantasy.
It features a diverse array of characters and scenarios, including talking dolphins, secret societies, and historical figures, all woven together in a style that challenges the reader's perceptions of reality and believability.
The trilogy was written by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson during their time as associate editors at Playboy magazine, inspired by the paranoid correspondence they received on civil liberties.
