THE GOLDEN APPLE – ILLUMINATUS! #2

The second part of the Illuminatus! trilogy.

The apple is the only fruit that symbolizes so much. Famous are the “Adam’s apple”, the apples of the Hesperides, and the most famous of all, the apple that Paris gave to kallisti, that is, the most beautiful woman.  An apple that soon became the “apple of discord”, and nowadays is synonymous with the notion of casus beli. The apple went through Byzantium, through William Tell, Newton, Snow White, Narnia, the first grade reader, and arrived, albeit bitten, at Apple computers. And now here it is and inside the Illuminati conspiracies.

It’s true that cutting an apple in half reveals a five-pointed star in the center. So what can an apple, even a golden one, have to do with the Law of Five and the five First Illuminati? Who keeps it, who gives it to whom, and who wins? We shall see.

Robert C. and Robert Anton Wilson continue their deconstruction of everything and draw us even deeper into the conspiracy to achieve the end of the world as we know it.
