The Neothink Society, also known as Neotech and Integrated Management Associates, is a publishing company situated in Henderson, Nevada that sells books by mass mailings of letters and pamphlets. Access to an invitation-only society of top leaders, money, power, and eventual immortality are promised in the advertising materials.
In 1968, Wallace Ward, now known as Frank R. Wallace, established the Neothink Society as a self-publishing corporation to print and distribute his own publications. When his father died in 2006, his son Wallace H. Ward took over the corporation and published under the trademarked identity Mark Hamilton. One of his works was a 1200 page novel about a woman named Miss Annabelle who has a number of brilliant offspring, one of whom becomes the president of the United States as a member of the Twelve Visions Party. Her offspring uncover all the answers to humanity’s problems, including the secret to immortality.
The Neothink Group sends potential members a letter stressing that they have been selected to join a secret society. If the candidate responds favourably, he is invited to buy a copy of the book about Miss Annabelle and her children for $135.50, as of 2015. Given that the book does not include the society’s secrets, the publisher offers additional pricey volumes to decipher the book’s hidden codes. In an interview with a Los Angeles Times reporter, Wallace H. Ward stated that the Neothink Society was primarily a commercial concept to sell books.
