Thomas Pynchon
""Thomas Pynchon has not been discussed by name in Infrared's transcribed streams to date.
[This page awaits stream sourcing.]
Adjacent terrain Haz has covered that Pynchon's readers will recognize:
- 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) — against both paranoid totalization and naive denial.
- Swarm-intelligence analyses of power without a center (Project Cyclone/Cycloneopedia): "there's no one behind anything... you can only discern patterns in an impersonal way, in terms of higher forces."
- The attention economy as the medium of all modern politics (Heated political debate).
Until Haz addresses him directly, this page records the gap rather than inventing a position.
