Default keep the lasagna flying

On Jan. 6, in his last post on his personal blog, he wrote: “I don’t see how to take death seriously. I look forward without dogmatic optimism, but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying.”

I was only vaguely aware of his work, but, having read the obituary, I must make the effort to read the trilogy.

Default More than just Illuminatus

As well as the general craziness of the Illuminatus trilogy, Schrodinger's Cat, and the rest, the following are examples of his more sirius works:

Prometheus-Rising
"a truly remarkable book that will turn your thinking about the world on its head, or at least illustrate how everyone else in the world sees it differently."

Quantum Psychology
"a real eye-opener if you've not read much about human consciousness, the influence of language on our thinking, or on how the mind works."

And for the conspiracy theory fans out there:
Things that ate the Constitution
"How did a Nazi spy come to have an enormous influence on US foreign policy? Will the "war on terrorism" put the last nail in the coffin of the rights of American citizens? Would Hannibal Lecter make a better president that George W. Bush? These are the questions asked in this work, offering humorous dissent and righteous anger in the anti-establishment tradition."

um, Hail Eris etc.
