The Anatomy of the Corporate State (The Greening of America 35 Years Later)

I think so.....what I liked a lot in my late reading were his insights, his framing of the problems....
I saw that, what, Consciousness 3? as a belated awareness of the counter culture....
which did not grow straight after that....

Pynchon and Reich are both on our side, and romantic in the way you suggest.

But Pynchon seems more self-aware about his own tendency to folly. Reich (as I recall him from a long way away now) is more likely to be unwittingly pie eyed.
