About this listen

The great modern classic of a brilliant rebel's personal exploration into the nature of consciousness.

"Cosmic Trigger deals with a process of deliberately induced brain change. This process is called 'initiation' or 'vision quest' in many traditional societies and can loosely be considered some dangerous variety of self-psychotherapy in modern terminology. I do not recommend it for everybody...briefly, the main thing I learned in my experiments is that 'reality' is always plural and mutable." (Robert Anton Wilson, from the preface)

Narration by Oliver Senton, "Robert Anton Wilson" in Daisy Eris Campbell's stage production of Cosmic Trigger.

Based on The Robert Anton Wilson Trust Authorized Hilaritas Press Edition.

Excellent read, thought provoking and entertaining. I’ve listened to this book twice now and enjoyed it the 2nd time round just as much.

Interesting and emotional

If you've never read it before you had better put your seat belt on and hold tight, if you have then jump back on the ride all over again. Plenty of info, insight and humour for those interested in conspiracies, future ideas and/or just esoteric humour. Cult novelist extraordinaire read in exactly the way you would want to hear it.

I don't pretend to understand all of what was said nor do I believe the parts I did. A stunning, thought provoking and sometimes sad book.

Can't wait for 2&3.

Fantastical

Spellbinding

Been meaning to read this for years. It didn't disappoint

Wilson writing is both intriguing and bewildering

RAW rocks

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I’d read this many years ago, one of my favourite books so I was happy to revisit it on audible. The performance is really good, very reminiscent of RAW himself & conveys the authenticity and character of the text. Even if you’re skeptical of the ideas presented, he is too so there’s still plenty to enjoy. Belief is not the point.

Fascinating, candid & engaging

Would you consider the audio edition of Cosmic Trigger I to be better than the print version?

Probably not, but that would be a hard trick to pull off.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Oliver Senton did a pretty good job of rendering Bob's voice. Gave him (a harsh) 4 stars because I'm used to Bob's voice.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Daisy Eris Campbell made a stage version, so I guess a film is possible...

Any additional comments?

Looking forward to Cosmic Trigger 2 & 3
