Much of this job involved researching the topics letter writers wanted to talk or ask about. They got
SOOO
MANY
letters about conspiracies. All sorts of crazy stuff about the Illuminati and the Kennedy assassination and you name it.
So they decided it would be fun to write a book...
A fictional yarn based on the idea "What if ALL of these conspiracies were real?"
They then started firing chapters back and forth, trying to top each other with how satirical and far-out they could make the story.
P.S. It was meant as one book, but the publishers insisted on three volumes.
