Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson, "Leviathan" (Book Three of the Illuminatus! Trilogy)
�Paranoia will destroy ya.�
-The Kinks
Finally. I finished this earlier today, and that�s all I can really say about this trilogy: it�s finally over. I�m going to spoil the surprise ending, so if you actually want to read these books you may want to skip this.
The cute references to real life events tying them to the Illuminati or the Discordians are almost gone in this volume, and it really comes off more as an average sci-fi novel rather than some commentary on our state of affairs. And what do the characters learn about themselves and the nature of their various movements? That they are characters in a book and all of what happened is just at the whimsy of the author�s imagination. It�s been done, fellas. You make enough references to Kurt Vonnegut, so I�m sure you�ve read �Breakfast of Champions.� And that book introduced this revelation to make a point, not just to wrap the whole book up because you couldn�t think of something to write.
