Robin writes right on:
Don't forget the author's concern that humans were giving up their human-ness and becoming more like machines. Entropy entered into this equation. "V." was quite concerned with that theme, as I recall. Vineland's concerned with it as well. And still, it's funny. "Vineland" is more like the work of a "self-recognized human" than "Gravity's Rainbow." But there's still the same—one might even say paranoid—themes.

After GR, Pynchon began to write more of what "the human' WAS, rather than what it wasn't. Agree?
