I read 'The Illuminatus Trilogy' 3 times as a teenager and loved the concept of a massive conspiracy theory. It helped explain a lot of things that made absolutely no sense.
However, as I got older the trilogy started to lose relevance. It was more of a 'whoa, dude! that's trippy! Give me another hit!'
'Schrodinger's Cat' on the other hand explored the concept of time, space and parallel universes which I found much more interesting. The ability to 'slide' between realities (usually just as a disaster occured) was nifty.
RIP Robert, thanks for making my brain do cartwheels!
