"Well I sometimes call myself a libertarian but that's only because most people don't know what anarchist means. Most people hear you're an anarchist and they think you're getting ready to throw a bomb at a building."

Robert Anton Wilson was born on January 18, 1932, in the United States. Wilson is perhaps best known for his works as a futurist, author, and advocate of agnostic mysticism, Discordianism, and libertarianism. His writings were greatly influential in non-traditional circles, particularly amongst cyberculture, where his teachings promoted non-hierarchical society and free thought.
Over his career, Wilson authored 35 books and numerous articles, with his works often exploring subjects of conspiracy theories, psychology, quantum physics, and the principles of Discordianism. Wilson's writings and advocacy were fundamental in spreading non-authoritarian and free-thinking philosophies, contributing to the ideals of anarchism. His seminal work, 'The Illuminatus! Trilogy', a satirical and surrealist trilogy, co-authored with Robert Shea, has been described as 'a cult classic among conspiracy theorists' and remains to be a staple in counterculture literature. He died on January 11, 2007.
