Robert Anton Wilson was one of the authors of Illuminati (only one 't').
I don't remember the other.  The series is amazingly good, although the
way it jumps around from one viewpoint to another is confusing sometimes.

This is the book that explains the Kennedy assasination, the disappearance
of John Dillinger, pyramid power, the sinking of Atlantis, evolution, ...
THEY have a finger in everybody's pie.  The question is "Who are they?"
It even involves Cthulu.

The Bavarian Illuminati IS mentioned in the dictionary, so some of the story
is factually based.  And, their symbol is the pyramid with the eye in it.
Now, where have I seen that before?
