What are some books that manage to create an effective atmosphere of overwhelming paranoia, without relying on gimmicks like weird formatting?
>>
Gravity's Rainbow
>>
1984
>>

>>
Infinite Jest
>>
>>7840737
I enjoy this meme
>>
Crying of Lot 49...? but it comes off as more poetic than evocative

this >>7840710 to be sure

also, John Hawkes' The Lime Twig

>>7840744
me too, rilly
>>
>>7840698
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
>>
J by Howard Jacobson. A great postmodern dystopian novel about the destruction of identity and the rise of language policing. /pol/ would love it if it wasn't about the persecution of Jews.
>>
>>7840742
>Infinite Jest
this desu
>>
>>7840761
Wittgenstein's Mistress
>>
>>7840698
The end part of homage to Catalonia but only if you are very ignorant about history and Orwell
>>
So, uh, is no one going to ask OP what the fuck is going on in the image he posted?
>>
Just spend a bunch of time reading schizophrenic blogs. They're more effective. Gangstalking is a good search term.
>>
>>7841322
Yeah, OP, fess up!
>>
>>7840698
Ubik
>>
>>7840698

>>7840698
IT Steven Kangz

OP is trying to spiral us into a Pynchon like paranoid conspiracy

it's working
>>
Gravity's Rainbow, hands down. I felt paranoid in every day life occasionally due to that book.
Also seconding Libra and Wittgenstein's Mistress.
>>
>>7840698
Atlas Shrugged
>>
>>7841681
I'm on /x/, this shit's getting more Pynchonian by the minute over there:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwedixpslH0

>>7841686
>Gravity's Rainbow

Seconding (or, thirding).
>>
what the fuck is erratas. what is this thing that is going to be uncovered
>>
>>7841732
/x/ thinks it's some kind of autonomous A.I. that fires people if they ever find out about it.
>>
>>7841479

Does this mean I'm doomed to be NEET forever?
>>
>>7842849
Probably
>>
>>7841322
A shitty ARG that started on /mu/ and moved on to /x/. It's publicity for a band.
>>
Hermann Unger - The Maimed
>>
>>7844846
/mu/'s post-Death Grips slow descent into frothing paranoia over everything secretly being an ARG or marketing campaign for music artists is actually a great example of what OP's looking for.
>>
>>7840698
Foucault's Pendulum
>>
>>7840698

Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality

The Ego and the Id
