This is the first I've heard that the currently available trilogy version is significantly shorter than the original three books. If this is the case do we know if this is related to a reduction in type size or some other typographical change - or have pages actually been cut?

A friend of mine who is a big RAW fan says there were a number of differences between the separate books and the omnibus, to the point where he recommends considering the three separate volumes and the omnibus as different works. I don't know any details other than that, having never read this myself. There were some changes made when the three Illuminatus books were combined into that omnibus, but I think that was just a case of deleting some recaps and the like. Maybe that's the case with the Cat books, too. 23skidoo 03:48, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

There is no governor anywhere; you are all absolutely free. There is no restraint that cannot be escaped. We are all abosolutely free. If everybody could go into dhyana at will, nobody could be controlled -- by fear of prison, by fear of whips or electroshock, by fear of death, even. All existing society is based on keeping those fears alive, to control the masses. Ten people who know [this] would be more dangerous than a million armed anarchists. 199.214.24.219 (talk) 18:09, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
