Someone (else) speak on Inherent Vice..?

OK, what I find so disappointing in IV is the lack of deep artful writing
about the core topic of the book, which I presume to be a revolutionary act
of reversing the flow of money. It's been a topic before, reversals or
potentials of reversal-- from wistful missed opportunities of Tesla's free
energy, reversal of time in photography, etc, and IV coulda been a
contender.. but it aint. What I did like about IV was the story of
Sportello's and Bjornsen's professional paths beginning at conflicting
outlooks on the world, and then how by the end there's Sportello kind of
being exposed, willingly? by Bjornsen, in a good wake up and smell the
coffee kind of way, to dangers that whether we agree or not, whether we
like it or not, bring about a concretization that the 60's or the old ways,
are over.
