It's a funny case Pynchon's. I think I'm glad I read Gravity's Rainbow. It's left enough residue to make it feel it was worth it. But I am fairly sure there's no cosmic vision beyond paranoia, which you can find in more lurid, far reaching and hysterical forms all over the Internet.
What's maybe interesting is an idea about how history happens, that it's not a team sport of nation vs nation. I think this is useful today especially.
These people these factions in these various different places collude and conspire to unbind this demon, this technology, this ideology, birth this monstrosity- and you won't understand history, or today's politics, until you forsake this idea of nation vs nation team sport.
