NN Friedman V. Pynchon

[s~Z]

>>>Nothing in GR gives evidence that Pynchon knows Iraq
from Iran, Shamir from Sharon, or Osama bin Laden from
Allen Ludden.<<<

And the references to 2003 in the 1984 Foreword are rather obvious and
general, nothing a high school kid couldn't have come up with for a civics
class term paper. E.g., all of the ballyhoo about the Internet is rather
silly. Of course totalitarians are going to use the Internet, just like they
use the state of the art in every endeavor from medicine to psychology to
chemistry to aeronautics etc etc.
