I take heart in the theme in Pynchon's works of industrial 
standardization, in thought of both practical and mystical 
dimensions, reducing the natural complexity of our environment and 
selves and thus turning us into automatons.

Similar to some of the ideas Kraftwerk used to toss around.

True. But even in my most anhedonic states I find the sudden 
lawlessness appealing :)
