Kind of surprised no one posted this. If I'm missing it somewhere, sorry.

From New Falcon Press:

"Robert Anton Wilson's 'The Tale of the Tribe' has been delayed until
2003. But the good news is...we will be releasing another Brand New
Robert Anton Wilson title later this year called 'TSOG: The Monster
That Ate the Constitution.' Because of the political events of the
last few months, Bob feels it is important to get this book to press
as quickly as possible. For more on 'TSOG,' go to:
http://www.newfalcon.com/books/tsog.htm

More good news: Later this year, Falcon will publish the first of
Robert Anton Wilson's long-out-of-print Historical Illuminatus
Chronicles, 'The Earth Will Shake.' This will be followed in turn by
the second and third books of the series, 'The Widow's Son' and
'Nature's God.' For more information go to:

Sounds fun.

I like old Bob (even if the quotes he uses to sell his books are, in some cases, over twenty years old).

Is the historical illuminatus stuff any good? I have a copy of the widow's son, but it looks like somebody used it to sop up an oil spill so I've only read around 20 pages of it.

I think it's fun. Totally self-indulgent smart-arse reference filled 18th century secret society related sex n' violence tomfoolery..

it's got it all really.

The Earth Will Shake is absolutely brilliant... the widow's son, not so good... and I think part 3 is buried somewhere in this room....

Bob, how come your Hotmail profile says you're an 18 year old girl from Limburg, Belgium?

Historicals are okay...'Masks of the Illuminati' is cool. The 'Cosmic Trigger' books are fascinating and shatteringly sad.

New novels, huh? Should be interesting.

Hey, Bob! Love your work! Question: whatever happened to the Bride of Illuminatus?

Anyone else read Illuminatus! as an early teen? I think RAW has some definite appeal to this group, although I've never been able to put my finger on it.

God. I read 'Shroedinger's Cat' first, of course, because I had no idea. So I didn't understand that at all, but I knew I like it, and then I realised it was a sequel. So I read the original trilogy, and it blew me away, but I still didn't understand everything that was going on...

It wasn't until I read 'Atlas Shrugged' that I got all the submarine joke.

from New Falcon:

Tale of the Tribe

Might the Internet be the key to greater human freedom? Wilson believes so as he explores James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Marshall McLuhan and Buckminster Fuller as guides to the Internet; the non-Aristotelian logic of Korzybski and Bandler; hypertext, information theory, and desovereignization as keys to emerging decentered globalism; the decentered universe of Giordano Bruno and much, much more.

yeah tale of the tribe not two tribes cheers. sorry Frankie. i'm sure of got books where he discusses all of those things above, but as soon as it appears in the shops for about twenty quid i'll probably be compelled to buy it. ideas travelling the lines of least resistance sure can build up some speed.
