Against the Day: Planes, Surfaces, Lines of Flight

Against the Day is organized like A Thousand Plateaus by Gilles Deleuze and 
Felix Guattari. It is constructed of planes and surfaces, each a continuum 
of either space or time. These planes intersect, as do the novel’s subplots 
and concepts, through a series of dots or plot points connected by narrative 
arcs, each a line of flight, each borne on the wing and whimsy of Pynchon’s 
mad characters and historical doubles, and drawn by the invisible hand of an 
agency whose intrinsic logic is algorithmic, artistic, atomist, ballistic, 
bled, blown, buried, chemical, conjured, counter-transferred, detonated, 
differential, disappearing, dug, energized, explosive, forensic, forlorn, 
found, hallucinated, harmonized, illuminating, impregnated, internalized, 
literary, lived, logarithmic, lost, loved, melodic, modal, orphaned, 
passional, painted, played, plotted, political, projected, probabilistic, 
pursued, pursuing, quantum, recollecting, reflecting, refracting, 
scientific, screened, screwed, shuffled, spun, strummed, strung, subjective, 
telegraphed, transferred, vector-based, wired, wirelessly transmitted, or 
blown by trade wind or un-ticketed time-travel (the two primary modes, and 
two shadows produced on the book’s jacket cover).
