“What is reality?”. Here, philosophy’s $64 000 question gets the West
Coast wild ‘n’ crazy treatment from Robert Anton Wilson. In My Life After Death,
the third volume of Cosmic Trigger (New Falcon Publications,
£11.99/$14.95, ISBN 1 56184 112 9), Wilson merrily delves into “the
counterfeits of reality and the reality of counterfeits”, starting with his own
premature obituary. Secret societies, UFOs, Orson Welles, quantum physics,
hollow-Earth theories— all are thrown in to bolster his view that reality
is in the eye of the beholder. Funny in parts, the book falters when this former
Playboy editor tackles the men’s and women’s movements.
