Completely different over here: While IV also turned me off because of 
its Californian 1969/70 setting, which fitted all too well into the 
zero-years' 'retromania', I enjoy BE for covering a time period which 
has, in terms of digital economy and political terrorism, essentially to 
do with the way things are today. And what about HipHop and SpongeBob in 
a Pynchon novel? This definitely works for me!
