For best effect, read the entire trilogy without sleeping, using whatever chemicals necessary to make that happen. And then start to see fnord the signs of conspiracy from the book everywhere in real life.

RAW made conspiracy into art.

I loved it but I also know (and have known) some folks pretty deep into provably untrue conspiracy thinking. Honestly, it seemed to be a way to self-medicate with conspiracies for them. I don't think that my Illuminatus experience compares with what they're thinking in any but the most trivial way.
