Thomas Pynchon — hasn't come up by name in transcribed streams, so this page won't pretend he has.

The adjacent terrain Haz works constantly is Pynchonesque by nature: the deep state as plural and contested rather than omniscient ("it's just really boring Wall Street capitalists who are in charge," ELON MUSK CRASHING OUT stream); power as swarm without a center (Project Cyclone/Cycloneopedia: "there's no one behind anything... you can only discern patterns in an impersonal way"); the attention economy as the medium of everything (Heated political debate stream).

If Haz ever reads Pynchon on stream, this page gets the receipts.
