Very germane imho. Especially in the light of the mushrooming annotations to 
AtD. Although, have to add, not EVERYTHING is available on the Internet yet. 
Sometimes you have to go to a library or even to archives.

"What has changed since the release of Gravity's Rainbow over thirty years 
ago is the Internet, specifically Google and Wikipedia. Will Pychon's taste 
for esoterica, technical, linguistic or demotic, seem quite so intriguing 
when prosaic explanations are just a few keystrokes away? Will Against The 
Day ever require something like this [link to the GR guide]?"
