Totally worth it. Includes almost every conspiracy theory of the last 2000 years. Read it while I was in Europe last summer, and I couldn't put it down.

It's like a hyper-intelligent Illuminatus! without the drugs, sex, or Joyce-isms.

I'd defo miss the drugs and sex and maybe teh Joyce-isms too (if I knew which ones those were)

So what you're saying is that this book is like RAW but with less in?

The book is dense with history, religion, math, & conspiracy.

Not so much yellow submarines, infantile sex jokes, and 5 pages of ridiculous band names.

Yeah.  Its pretty complex, from what I hear.  But thats not necessarily a bad thing.
