Schrodinger’s Cat
In The Universe Next Door, the President of Unistat is Furbish Lousewart V; in that universe, a terrorist organization known as Purity of Essence (named after General Ripper's obsession in the film Dr. Strangelove) threatens to detonate nuclear devices in major cities all over Unistat. The [Schrödinger's Cat Trilogy][1] is a trilogy of novels by American writer Robert Anton Wilson consisting of [The Universe Next Door][2], [The Trick Top Hat][3], and [The Homing Pigeons][4], each illustrating a different interpretation of quantum physics. Wilson is also co-author of The Illuminatus! Trilogy, and Schrödinger's Cat is a sequel of sorts, re-using several of the same characters and carrying on many of the themes of the earlier work.
