Is it ok . . .?

Overdosed on Thomas Pynchon?

On disinformation.com, the "gateway to the underground - news, politics,
conspiracy and weirdness"  - our man is always good for a quote or being
called as a witness . . .

thomas pynchon: the techngnostic prophet of paranoid literature
by Douglas McDaniel - November 13, 2000

I never would have imagined calling Pynchon that, but sounds good, eh?
Close reading isn't McDaniel's thing, even copy&paste isn't that easy for
him:

"Temporal bandwidth," explains Kurt Mandragen like a true Information Theory
geek, "Personal density . . . is directly proportional to temporal
bandwidth. 'Temporal bandwidth,' is the width of your present, your now. It
is the familiar '[delta-] t' considered as a dependent variable. The more
you dwell in the past and in the future, the thicker your bandwidth, the
more solid your persona. But the narrower your sense of Now, the more
tenuous you are." (without page number)

This quote from V. (509) could have correctly been string+c&string+v'd from
Spermatikos (including the page number)
http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/pynchon_quotes.html,
where with no doubt it comes from. So I ask myself, has this guy read
Pynchon in original recently or at all? Where does the "Mandragen" come
from?

Another one:
"The Hallucinatory Powers of Creating Alternate Realities
What writers like Umberto Eco and Thomas Pynchon warn about, and what David
Lynch has deep concerns with, is what happens when concepts and stories
begin to imitate life and art, interweaving real and fictional universes.
These worlds are dream-like, but structured like allegorical nightmares. The
protagonists, like the Lovecraftian hero are doomed by their own obsessions,
driven by compulsions yet baffled."
