A excellent article that gives a good overview of Thomas Pynchon's writing career and why, with the release of a new loose PTA film adaptation, Vineland might be more relevant than ever.

Nuclear Experts Say Mixing AI and Nuclear Weapons Is Inevitable Human judgement remains central to the launch of nuclear weapons. But experts say itโ€™s a matter of when, not if, artificial intelligence will get baked into the worldโ€™s most dangerous systems.

Thomas Pynchonโ€™s Vineland gets a 21st century reassessment: โ€œโ€ฆthe plot is set in motion by Reaganโ€™s slashing of the federal government, unwittingly severing millions of connections, setting in motion events beyond anyoneโ€™s control, resurrecting the suppressed.โ€

Famously Harold Bloom trashed this novel but I think itโ€™s held up remarkably well and is the Pynchon novel I always recommend people start with
