TRP***GR**Singularity?

[da kid]

Was Pynchon aware of the technological singularity back in the early 70s? I know there are gravitational singularities and others, not just the Kurzweil one and it has been awhile since I finished GR. However, with all it's concerns with predestination, the end of history(?) and so forth it makes me wonder. Also, I recall two scenes in particular that are towards the end of the book. One is the scene about the rich guy practicing the Masonic ritual stuff to try to transcend to a higher dimension. The other is the lecture by is it Kekule? about the move from organic to inorganic chemistry. From Carbon to silicon. Not to mention all the times P talks about "singularities." Has this already been discussed to death here?
