The Book of Forbidden Words

What you see before you is no mere glossary of the profane. It is a map of the taboo, a cartography of consciousness that traces the unspeakable currents flowing beneath polite society's polished veneer. When Robert Anton Wilson first compiled this euphoric lexicon of expletives and eroticisms, he wasn't just collecting dirty words he was staging a linguistic jailbreak.

Wilson understood long before the term went vogue that information is the prima materia of reality. He knew that words, particularly those we're told not to use, shape the world we inhabit. And like all true shamans of syntax, he chose to play with the forbidden, not to offend, but to reveal: that language is a tool, a weapon, a toy, a trap and occasionally, a get-out-of-jail-free card . . .

So, read on - gasp, laugh, squirm, blush. But above all, remember: every forbidden word is a door to consciousness expansion and RAW, (may the Non-Simultaneous Processes Interacting protect him), has with this book left us a key under the mat.
