RAW Semantics on the new RAW politics book

Art: RAW Semantics

Apparently I am not the only person excited about the big new Robert Anton Wilson book (514 pages!), A Non-Euclidean Perspective: Robert Anton Wilson’s Political Commentaries 1960-2005as the RAW Semantics blog already has a post about it. Whereas I have only gotten a few dozen pages in, as I'm also trying to read two other books at the same time, Brian wasted little time, consuming the book in a weekend:

"Don’t expect smooth surface consistency and neat little category boxes from someone as prolific, pluralistic, open-minded and adaptable-to-situation as Robert Anton Wilson. That’s the 'warning' I’d give to someone, new to RAW’s work, about to read this amazing and exhilarating collection."

Jesse Walker also wrestles with the diversity in his "Discordia Rising" intro to the book.

I also plan to blog about the book, but kudos to Brian for getting out of the gate early! I'll be going back to his notes as I get through the new book. 

BTW, amazing art from Brian as usual, please see the post for that, too. I love the comic at the top.
