I bet that when a new Pynch comes out, the title, or the first country, will read a combination of the words "paranoia," "Trump's America," and "fake news." Like, "Pynchon was the first to predict the paranoia of Trump's America that we now see online. For example, trolling sites like 4chan..."
I wouldn't be surprised if Pynch himself was suffering from TDS these days... or maybe I'm underestimating him?

>>24558997 (OP)What's with this guy and that V rocket fetish? He uses that same shit in at least three books. And why the hell he's so "celebrated"? I feel like in a, not so long ago time, hacks had it easier to hook people onto their "original ideas". Today looking back at some of those /product//ideas they look almost childish.
>>24559037The Bible unironically predicted all of this, though
>>24558997 (OP)>Pynch He doesn't know you lil bro
