Not directly related to V., Pynchon, or literature for that matter, but
for a good read on the links between entropy in information theory and
entropy in thermodynamics, try Tom Stonier's _Information and the internal
Structure of the Universe_. Don't worry, the book's short, and not quite
as pretentious as the title.
