The illuminatus trilogy6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It is thematically dense, covering topics like counterculture, numerology, anarchism, and Discordianism. It also jumps around in time, as do the minds of some of the characters, but by then it has settled down to a point where it is somewhat less evidently self-aware. The third-person omniscient narrator finds these switches, as well as its original non-identity as a disembodied narrator, very troubling and disconcerting at first. The narrative often switches between third and first person perspectives. The trilogy is a satirical, apparently postmodern, science fiction-influenced adventure story a drug-, sex- and magic-laden trek through a number of conspiracy theories, both historical and imaginary, which hinge around the authors' version of The Illuminati. The Illuminatus! Trilogy is a series of three novels written by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson purportedly between 19, and first published in 1975.
