¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Robert Anton Wilson!


AKA Robert Edward Wilson* or RAW.

Born January 18, 1932. Died January 11, 2007.

He was a popular science fiction writer most famous for The Illuminatus! Trilogy, a series of three novels written by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea and published in 1975. He also went on to write a series of novels dealing with various historical conspiracies including The Schrödinger's Cat Trilogy, The Historical Illuminatus Chronicles and Masks of the Illuminati.

It is tempting to call him the thinking man's Dan Brown but I somehow doubt he would have taken that as a compliment. Besides, the humor in his literary work was usually deliberate.

* Birth name.
