Where were you when Reality got BTFO by this champ?
Still blissfully unconscious.

Minas Troni is better.
fucking walking up those stairs all the fucking time
I'm a chapter into this.
Does it get better? Is it just pretentious garbage? What's the point of the writing style? Am I just notpatricianenough to understand? I mean, I don't spend my free time annotating Dostoyevsky or shit like that, but I'm a smart enough cookie to wrap my head around most of the freaky shit you nerds read.
That said, this right here just fucking baffles me. What's the general opinion of it on /lit/? Is there a particular way I should read this?

It might help to be familiar with John Dos Passos' USA Trilogy (42nd Parallel, 1919, Big Money), which Brunner lifts some stylistic ideas from.
It's not super deep, just has a slow start. It's gets more interesting later on, and faster.
This book is awesome. I wish /lit/ talked about it more.
Anybody have that copypasta of when Pynchon came to 4chan and redpilled everyone on TCoL49 and Breakspeare? can't find it.

Ha. For paranoia and 70s politics: The Illuminati Trilogy bybShea and Wilson. Harlan Ellison wrote sci fi in a similar vein as PKD. His anthologies include: Dangerous Visions and Shatterday. Sometimes Pynchon is like a much denser PKD...
