As do I, though I consider it to be one of his lesser works. The Cosmic 
Trigger Books, Quantum Psychology, Ishtar Rising, The New Inquisition, and 
Prometheus Rising are all in my mind far more important works than 
Illuminattus or Schrödinger's Cat.

I met him once and got him to sign my copy of New Inquisition. He signed his 
name and then put, in parentheses, "Maybe", because his death was already 
reported on the net before then, and he wanted to play with that erroneous 
report.

Great thinker, interesting author, and quite a different view of the 
universe. He will be missed.
