Odds of another Pynchon novel

[rich]

so, in the later books has Pynchon just assumed those forces are a
done-deal, a given, and like computers part of the fabric of the times we
currently live in? In essence, no need to even assume those things anymore
beyond slight flashes of utopian feeling (hippies, anarchism, etc.)
I think that's what's disappointing about AtD--it's almost a parody of
those sacred truths so feelingly delineated in books like GR. for such a
hefty book, it doesnt have much in the way of soul. I'm talking off the
cuff here but I think AtD will be the last we see of those mysterious and
fecund massive behemoths.
