What I find interesting is that Lucas then would be Aleister Crowley to Cassidy's Frieda Harris. We already know that he is a more difficult character than his friend and business partner Justin: Whereas Justin pines for a California that never was ("safe, sunny" - safe along with saved, salvation etc. being a Pynchon keyword) "Lucas was searching for someplace, you could say, a little darker, where it rains a lot and great silences sweep like wind, holding inside them forces of destruction." (74) Lucas is the visionary here, Justin the 'code monkey,' as Justin readily admits (76), no?
