I found out yesterday that famous conspiracy and science fiction writer Robert Anton Wilson (Bob) passed away after a lengthy illness.
From his blog it looked like he was in his final days his old crazy cranky but oddly cheerful way that he led his life.
His writings helped to show me that there is more to life than what I learned in high school and that it is ok to 'think differently'.
I did get to meet him back in 1998 at a conference in San Jose California. He was as interesting in real life as reading his essays and his novels.
If you ever can read The Illuminatus! Trilogy, I highly recommend that you do.
I know Bob wouldn't have wanted me to cry over his passing but I did. He now writes from the Great Fnord, of course, or not...
Hail Eris! 23 Skidoo!
Farewell Bob!
