Foucault’s Pendulum (Eco 1989), employed semiotics
with a theme of global politico-religious conspiracies
vying for attention,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault_pendulum
The plot of Foucault's Pendulum revolves around three friends,
Belbo, Diotallevi and Casaubon, who work for a vanity publisher in
Milan. After reading one too many manuscripts about occult
conspiracy theories, they decide they can do better, and set out to
invent their own conspiracy for fun. They call this satirical
intellectual game "The Plan".

As Belbo, Diotallevi and Casaubon become increasingly obsessed
with The Plan, they sometimes forget that it's just a game. Worse
still, when adherents of other conspiracy theories learn about The
Plan, they take it seriously. Belbo finds himself the target of a very
real secret society that believes he possesses the key to the lost
treasure of the Knights Templar.

A number of sub-plots are woven into the grand theme of The
Plan. Belbo's obsession with the plan is justified by his
experiences as a child in Italy during World War II, his unrequited
love for the mercurial Lorenza Pellegrini, and his desire to absolve
himself from a constant sense of failure. Against the backdrop of
the Templar Plan for world domination, the novel brings out the
credulity inherent in all people.
