A real pynchonesque story

<<So what happened with the German uranium for Japan? The Americans themselves hadn't enough uranium
for A-bombs at that time. So the German uranium maybe was very welcome. So maybe German uranium for
Japan was used for the bomb for Hiroshima.
Ask Mr. Knopp not me if it's true or not. But it sounds very pynchonesque, doesn't it?>>



Actually it sounds more Neal Stephenson-esque.>>
I was thinking that but of course it's gold instead of uranium in Stephensons novel. Presumably
because gold is the corpse of value, a material that has been very readily abstracted into
information.
