The Illuminati Papers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Illuminati Papers is a collection of essays and other works by Robert Anton Wilson which was first published in 1980 (ISBN 1-57951-002-7). The book expands upon characters and themes from his earlier The Illuminatus! Trilogy (written with Robert Shea), featuring characters from that series as they discuss politics, science, the future, and other topics. Some of the essays are detailed arguments, while others read as newspaper advertisements or mini wall-posters.
The Illuminati Papers is sometimes referenced as a sequel to Illuminatus! as are other related works such as Masks of the Illuminati and the Cosmic Trigger books. Whereas those books are effectively standalone works, Illuminati Papers is considered a complement to the trilogy.
