Robert Anton Wilson (born Robert Edward Wilson, January 18, 1932 January 11, 2007) was an American novelist, essayist, philosopher, polymath, psychonaut, futurologist and libertarian.
He described his work as an "attempt to break down conditioned associations—to look at the world in a new way, with many models recognized as models or maps and no one model elevated to the Truth." "My goal is to try to get people into a state of generalized agnosticism about everything."
