How about _The Stars My Destination_? Although it took a while to
find out that there was a conspiracy (and that wasn't what the book
was about).

Frank Herbert has conspiracy elements in some of his books.

And, if I understood the parts of that paper that I think I did, it's
about doing just that. Right?

Life's too important to take seriously.
LOTR had some conspiracies, too. For example: Saruman sent
Wormtongue to Rohan to make them less effective. Then, there were
Saruman's activities in the Shire. Those came to a Bag End.

- with whom did saruman conspire to place grima wormtongue at
theoden's elbow, whispering his poisonous words into his ear?
>Then, there were Saruman's activities in the Shire.
- again, it's not obvious that saruman conspired with anyone,
to send his ruffians into the shire; it's _possible_ that
lotho shared in planning the undermining of the established
(and possibly self-satisfied) traditional organisation of the
shire, the posthumous picture presents us with is far closer
to the pimple having been an easy mark for saruman's flattery
& silken voice; a dupe with delusions of command & competence.
- love, a ppint. as disbelieves in conspiracies of one.

Well, I know they may be secretly ruling the world, but I can cope...
