<< _GR_ is a TECHNOCRATIC text. To use the discourse of 
 aeronautics that so permeates the novel (a quasi-Freudian intertextual 
 diffusion from The Man's years at Boeing), one could say that the 
 n-different characters are distinct automata or subsystems linked in an 
 almost cybernetic, simulatory/emulatory network. STRUCTURE ILLUMINATES 
 THEME, as in furphy. the whole damn point is that _GR_ DOES HAVE A 
 STRUCTURE. i quote now from a recent newspaper article by michael berube 
 professor of english at the university of illinois at urbana-champaign... >>

Hello Mercutio,
I would say that GR IS NOT a technocratic text, but it describes a 
technocratic world... this is an important difference.
Structure/no structure: well, as I read GR the first time in the early 
eighties in German translation (a sign for a good translation: 1.0 English 
pages translated into 1.3 German pages, the German edition of GR ("Die Enden 
der Parabel") has 1294 pages) I had the impression that let's say the last 
100 or 150 pages were a kind of "written psycho-pathology", as I wrote in an 
article at that time (1983?). Would I say it again today? I'm not sure...
Last but not least a hint: William Gaddis, J. R., or how an 
eleven-year-old-boy conquers the stock market: Gaddis describes the 
"deregulated" casino-capitalism of the nineties in a book published 1975. 
This is not technocratic but prophecy...
