He's got to be thinking about us when he says (through Rosie) on p. 81:
"The ba-sic theory, is, that when given an unstruc-tured stimulus, some
shape-less blob of exper-ience, the subject, will seek to impose,
struc-ture on it. How, he goes a-bout struc-turing this blob, will
reflect his needs, his hopes -- will provide, us with clues, to his
dreams, fan-tasies, the deepest regions of his mind."  Not that _GR_  is
exactly a shapeless blob, but I think it, like any work of literature
(but probably moreso), encourages us to draw more from it than the author
knowingly puts in.
