why work so hard to set up a joak?

[alice wellintown]

Why not? Pynchon has been stuffing his books with whatever he can cram into
them from the get-go. It's his MO.  He likes stuffing science in and
religion in and history and psychology and....that's what he does.


Tell me: is it really plausible that all this (and a metric buttload more)
is there as nothing more than *bait*? As examples of how people get drawn
to the Dark Side? If these are just the snares that lead sinners into
doomed congress with science and technology, he’s sure putting a lot of
work into them, isn’t he?
