Product Description

Disinformation’s “wicked warlock” Richard Metzger presents the most compelling interviews from the hit TV series Disinformation - mind-blowing thoughts from modern culture’s most radical thinkers:

· Robert Anton Wilson on The Illuminati and Aleister Crowley

· Grant Morrison (The Invisibles, The Filth, JLA, X-Men) describes sex magick, Hollywood’s interest in underground culture and the best alien abduction story you’ll ever hear!

· Howard Bloom (The Lucifer Principle) on the coming biological apocalypse

· Genesis P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV) describes what it’s like to be the leader of your own cult

· Artist Joe Coleman’s collection of weird stuff

· Douglas Rushkoff explains media viruses

· New York’s most outrageous performance artist Kembra Pfahler

· Artist Paul Laffoley tells how to build a time machine and solve the housing shortage by growing houses from plants

· Duncan Laurie reveals the forbidden science of radionics

· Peter Russell on ecological doomsday and spiritual renewal

· The apocalyptic visual parables of religious painter Norbert H. Kox

Hosted by Disinformation® co-founder Richard Metzger, the Disinformation television series caused quite a stir when it aired on the UK’s Channel 4 TV network. The first season was bizarrely scheduled after Ally McBeal and surely messed with the heads of more than a few fans of that show; the second season went even further in challenging the network’s censors, resulting in Channel 4 refusing to air certain segments. Nonetheless, the series was a hit and was bought by SCI FI Channel in the United States. They didn’t quite realize what they’d paid for, apparently, and never aired the programs. The interviews in this book represent the “intellectual” side of the series; the more “insane” pieces, such as the mayhem of the legendary Uncle Goddamn segments, are contained on the companion DVD.
