Pynchon & Science Fiction

[Cal McInvale]

Here's a teaser (I've got more on the way):

Is there some similarity between this line of Gibson's (from NEUROMANCER):

        "They sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a
        dead channel..."

and this from COL49:

        "Oedipa stood in the living room, stared at by the dead eye
        of the TV tube..."

???

What is most appealing about young folks, after all, is the changes, not
the still photographs of finished character but the movie, the soul in
flux.  -- Thomas Pynchon
