That's OK, I had the same feeling about Foucault's Pendulum and Illuminatus!. It's like there's a conspiracy among publishers to rehash the "what if the conspiracy theories are real" plot every few decades.
To me, the delightful thing about Foucault's Pendulum distinct from the broader "conspiracy fiction" genre is that there is no conspiracy discovered, only created.
And that's a fundamentally different story and investigation into human nature than a straight conspiracy story like Da Vinci Code - IMO, a much more interesting one.
