R.I.P. R.A.W.

Robert Anton Wilson died today. R.U. Sirius has posted a very nice, slightly irreverent, obit at http://www.10zenmonkeys.com/2007/01/11/robert-anton-wilson-1932-2007/.

I've long been a fan of RAW. When I was younger and more experimental in the use of my mind, RAW introduced me to the occult, conspiracy theory, drugs, sex magick, and Taoism. I still have a fondness for his Cosmic Trigger and Schroedinger's Cat books and who doesn't like the Illuminatus Trilogy, written with Robert Shea. My favorite book of his, though, is Prometheus Rising (oops, not Unbound, that's Shelley's), based on Timothy Leary's Eight Circuit model of the mind. Funny, illuminating, and nutty all in one.
