PRIMUS ILLUMINATUS IS WATCHING YOU!@RUTGERS.ARPA:war@mit-dutch (02/14/85)

The series is amazingly good, although the way it jumps around from one viewpoint to another is confusing sometimes. This is the book that explains the Kennedy assasination, the disappearance of John Dillinger, pyramid power, the sinking of Atlantis, evolution, ... THEY have a finger in everybody's pie. The question is "Who are they?" It even involves Cthulu. The Bavarian Illuminati IS mentioned in the dictionary, so some of the story is factually based. And, their symbol is the pyramid with the eye in it. Now, where have I seen that before? -- Chris Warack war@dutch "All Hail Discordia!"

There is an Illuminati game which involves all of the aforementioned groups. I think it is a spoof of the book. -eli -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eli Liang --- University of Maryland Computer Vision Lab, (301) 454-4526 ARPA: liang@cvl, eli@mit-mc, eli@mit-prep CSNET: liang@cvl UUCP: {seismo,rlgvax,allegra,brl-bmd,nrl-css}!umcp-cs!cvl!liang

There is also several expansions. It is fairly enjoyable. The game is based on putting together your own illuminati conspiracy of groups in order to take over the world. Different societies have different paths to reach this goal. -- -------------- Today we live in the future, Tomorrow we'll live for the moment, But, pray we never live in the past. -------------- Daniel G.

My favorite fnord little thing in fnord the Illuminati trilogy was fnord
the theory that fnord everything we fnord read has the fnord word "fnord"
sprinkled throughout, fnord which we are taught fnord not to see by
fnord early conditioning. It is this conflict fnord that causes most of
the fnord disharmony in the world. Fnord reminds me a little fnord of
the explanation for fnord HAL's schizophrenia in 2001. The best fnord
scene in the Illuminati books by my fnord reckoning is the one in which
fnord the protagonist finally breaks through fnord the conditioning --
while reading a fnord newspaper in a quiet library fnord, he leaps up
screaming:
"I see the fnords!"
