I was lucky enough to have read Korzybski before reading the Null-A 
books. Without that, i don't know if i'd have grokked them.

I'd recommend reading (or re-reading) 'Science and Sanity' first, then 
the Van Vogt books, then see how the J C Wright stuff measures up.  

It'd be interesting to see how somebody who claims to have converted 
from atheism to xianity (a claim i have reason to doubt, but that's 
another story) deals with fiction based on a system that encourages you 
to not believe there's a chair until you're sitting on it - and maybe 
not even then.
