The infamous Illuminatus novels, collected here in a giant 800 page edition for your entertainment. Filled with sex, violence, conspiracy theories, and talking dolphins, these zany satires from 1975 are strange, readable, funny, disturbing, non-stop entertaining, and weirdly way more timeless than you might think. Read these postmodern classics to understand (or hark back to) the 1960s and 1970s counterculture and how it shaped the conspiracy theories of today.
