The essays and interviews in this book span 45 years, from 1960 to 2005, responding to events from the Bay of Pigs invasion to the War on Terror. Along the way, they will introduce you, or re-introduce you, to the thinkers who influenced Wilson the most-Spooner, Tucker, Proudhon, Warren, Reich, Fuller, Korzybski, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalling for liberty, tolerance, and compassion, Wilson was loyal to neither the political left nor the political right - he preferred to call his ideas \"non-Euclidean.\" These writings deviate from traditional Euclidean models of the political spectrum where the ideological landscape is easily mappable. Here, politics are as complex, multidimensional, and unconventional as the human mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- - -\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Say what you like about the principles of anarchism, Robert Anton Wilson said it earlier, better, and funnier.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eKen MacLeod\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Star Fraction\u003c\/em\u003e and Beyond \u003cem\u003eThe Hallowed Sky\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"An encyclopedic scholar of human folly, or maybe simply the folly of being human.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eAndrei Codrescu\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of The \u003cem\u003eDisappearance of the Outside: a Manifesto For Escape\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Wilson understood that true freedom requires breaking everyone's chains, not building higher walls around private compounds.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eMark Frauenfelder\u003c\/strong\u003e, co-founder of \u003cem\u003eBoing Boing\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The imagination, wit, and humanity evident in these essays animated Robert Anton Wilson's politics and writing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eRevd Jonathan Harris\u003c\/strong\u003e, High Priest of Church of Burn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A unique combination of compassion and erudition that will light up your neural pathways like Times Square on New Year's Eve.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eLewis Shiner\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eGlimpses\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A volume of priceless wisdom from a multi-dimensional intellect.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eVictor Koman\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Jehovah Contract\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eKings of the High Frontier\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 516\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.04 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 23, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51984092758317,"sku":"9781952746475","price":30.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/nh-TqBfQFe9781952746475.webp?v=1776081885","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/a-non-euclidean-perspective-robert-anton-wilsons-political-commentaries-1960-2005-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
