When today’s billionaires talk about liberty, they mean freedom from taxes and regulations. When Wilson wrote about liberty, he meant freedom from mental prisons and social control. His libertarianism stems from compassion and human connection, rather than greed or self-interest. The essays in A Non-Euclidean Perspective reveal a thinker as distant from today’s tech-bro libertarians as the teachings of Jesus are from prosperity gospel preachers. Where modern libertarians worship the market, Wilson celebrated human potential and warned against all forms of dogma and power — whether wielded by the state or a corporation. Wilson understood that true freedom requires breaking everyone’s chains, not building higher walls around private compounds.

RAW’s early essays emerge from the rich ideaspace that opened up in North American intellectual life at that time. The imagination, wit, and humanity evident in these essays animated Robert Anton Wilsons politics and writing for the rest of his life.

Few people remember that in the last three decades of the 20th Century, “Futurist” was a well-paying gig. Top futurist writers like Buckminster Fuller, Marshall McLuhan and Robert Anton Wilson attracted large audiences at conferences. Situated somewhere between fortune-tellers and philosophers, these prognosticators included tech in their visions. The computer was the new deck of Tarot cards. The future that they foresaw was of course, accurate. We are living in it. For my money, Robert Anton Wilson, was the most charismatic of them all. He had a sense of humor and a grasp of absurdity that transcended even the most profound, but sadly serious, visions of the others. These qualities multiplied his appeal hundreds of times and were, as a result, generative almost immediately, of many tributaries (The Church of the Subgenius, to name but one). More importantly now for us, people of the future, is the dire need for humor and understanding of the absurd. This collection of essays is a manual for yielding those things, maybe even acquiring them. Wilson was an optimist, not because he saw the coming sci-fi world as particularly wonderful, but because he was unafraid to see us still wallow between contradiction and awe like the proverbial cat caught in the door between Einstein and Heisenberg. Wilson was an encyclopedic scholar of human folly, or maybe simply the folly of being human. Great tonic read!

Explodes like a string of Zen-infused firecrackers! A Non-Euclidean Perspective chronicles the evolution of Robert Anton Wilson’s political, epistemological, and spiritual outlook through four decades of his articles. The reader will experience a keen, perceptive, articulate mind sifting through the socio-political detritus of the Late Second Millennium to find a philosophy (or several!) that can maximize liberty while (dare I insult Eris?) minimizing Discord in our lives. Truly a volume of priceless wisdom from a multi-dimensional intellect!
