Hello!,

Longtimelurker here on this list.

I recently published my first academic article on Pynchon, in which I
compare his vision of society in GR with that of Nick Land's, in regard of
Benjamin Noy's comment that GR could be read under an accelerationist
perspective (Which I heartily disagree with).

TLDR: Land's vision of acceleration is childish and eurocentric. Pynchon's
view in GR is thoroughly aware of the colonial and ecological nightmare of
modernity, and, exactly because of that, he gives us something else
entirely.

The article is in portuguese which I imagine is not read my most here, but
anyway, thought it could be of interest to one person or two

thanks (:
