Windust is a tool of government agency and its cumbersome and often ineffectual ventures with multinational business and agency.

>>> In contrast, in GR, the monstrous and insidious forces are invisible and mysterious, beyond the comprehension of, let alone, the reach of any coordinated counter cultural resistance.  The force is, for lack of a better term, as Dwight Eddins so artfully and elequantly describes it, a Gnostic Force. This force is born from Pynchon's readings of Adams and is the driving force or theme that makes V. a masterpiece first novel.
