The Time: Far In The Future.

The Place: An Archeological Find At Bev-El (Beve-Hill? Beverly Hills!?!?!)

Scientists have dug up the remains of a movie made in the closing years of the 20th century. As it was seemingly designed to persuade, seduce or trick people into practicing the outlawed art of THINKING, all prints of this shocking work had been banned, seized and burned. Except this one historic copy.


Robert Anton Wilson presents a time-bending look at ourselves with a brilliant essay from an anthropologist far in the future who has found an ancient 20th century screenplay that is far from easy to explain. Read the screenplay for yourself and try to fathom this age we inhabit. Wilson combines our culture''s absurdities, injustices, violence and desires, shot at you in a machine-gun-like assault on your senses and intellect. The result is hilarious, chilling and irrevocably mind-altering - a consciousness-raising experience filled with laughter, rage and insight.


"Wilson managed to reverse every mental polarity in me, as if I had been pulled through infinity. I was astonished ..." - Philip K. Dick, author of VALIS, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Blade Runner) and other great books


"Wilson''s new brand of quantum philosophy, while pretending to amuse, actually rids the reader of important fictions necessary to the conduct of life as we know it. It''s a very dangerous book." - Dr. Nick Herbert, Quantum Physicist


"This book will make you laugh,- this book will make you think. Read it and you''ll get away with more." - Arthur D. Hlavaty, publisher, Derogatory Reference
