link Bill Hicks is back on Letterman this Friday!

Bill Hicks was a comedian in the 1980’s and early 1990’s who challenged mainstream beliefs, aiming to “enlighten people to think for themselves.”[1] Hicks used a ribald approach to express his material describing himself as “Chomsky with dick jokes.”[1] His jokes included general discussions about society, religion, politics, philosophy and personal issues. Bill’s material was often deliberately controversial. In both his stand-up performances, and during interviews, he often criticized Media and popular culture as oppressive tools of the ruling class, meant to “keep people stupid and apathetic.” (wikipedia)

Robert Anton Wilson says: Ben Mack’s PWC’s reads like taking acid, only you never come down.

My Dearest Ben,

May this letter of introduction serve you well. You speak the truth. This is likely to make you virtually unpublishable.

To whom it may concern,

If something happens to me and I die suddenly, I want you to know of the extraordinary importance of a novel I just
finished reading, POKER WITHOUT CARDS.

Ben Mack is at the bleeding edge of avant-garde fiction. Just amazing!
Memetics, Shannon & Fuller woven into a novel. Just add Internet and you’ve got the major themes of my next book.

Reading POKER WITHOUT CARDS is like reading a young Bucky, world politics are explained in a way not previously
visible, but once viewed, cannot be seen any other way. Ben Mack wrote a consciousness thriller, combining natural philosophy with storytelling—the effect is like taking acid, only you never come down.

Sincerely,
Robert Anton Wilson
