Feminist-fearing, libertarian extropian, meta-conspiracist

Wilson is perhaps the best-known pan-conspiracist in the world. He emphasizes fictionality, play, drugs, and boobies.

Illuminatus! was adapted as a 10-hour science fiction rock epic and performed (under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth II) at Great Britain’s National Theatre, where Wilson appeared in a special cameo role.
