Dream Illuminati: A Global Revolution Takes Wing: Revised & Expanded Edition - Softcover

Nobody quite knew what to make of them. Were they simply fun-loving thrill-seekers leaping from surfboards roaring motorcycles to hang gliders, and then on to the most advanced rocket-propelled jetpacks on the planet? Or were they a genuine menace to religious traditionalists who were outraged when the "Order" began taking over churches, cathedrals and temples for their fiery flying rituals?

Bets swung both ways, but as the self-styled revolutionaries swelled in number and the media culture exulted, zealots turned violent and the press immediately warned of dogfights in the sky, street battles, mind games and soul wars.

Behind the scenes, the Powers That Be were strangely silent. But then word began filtering out that the secret elite were playing the two sides off against each other and there were whispers of a hidden agenda that could shift global power, profits and the future of the world itself...

"In a sense, we have all had our `wings' broken; it remains the major function of such `hallowed institutions' as organized religion and free compulsory education to see that our `wings' are broken, or at least clipped, before we reach adulthood. How else will society have the insectoid units it needs to fill the cubicles in its hive economy?

"But what if we begin to regrow healthy organs of Poetic Imagination and flight? What if we `put on the wings and arouse the coiled splendor within' as LIBER AL urges? Is it not predictable that society will react with the fury described by Wayne Saalman in this novel? Joyce did not name his emblematic Artist merely Daedalus but Stephen Dedalus---after St. Stephen Protomartyr who reported a Vision and was stoned to death for it."---Robert Anton Wilson

"Saalman takes us on a quantum leap beyond the collective unconscious into our futures...---Christopher S. Hyatt, Ph.D.

"This book is pure magick. It made me smile."---Timothy Leary
