What is deus ex of literature? Looking for paranoid cyberpunk novels. Already read Gibson, Snow Crash and 1984.
Listen, conspiracy schizos were right all along. Mass surveillance? Lying about wars (Tonkin/Vietnam, WMD/Iraq, Ukraine)? Pandemic fuckery? Stock market manipulation (gamestop, congressmen)? Media lying 24/7?
All true. Every single one. Schizos were right, and Snowden and Assange even proved.
Looking for some peak paranoid conspiracy novels.

On a side note, also looking for those space westerns. You know, cowboys in space. With some libertarian or anti authoritarian or anti government sentiment. Stuff like Moon is a harsh mistress and Cherryh's downbelow station. Like that Firefly tv series, but in novel form.

Thanks for reading all this, looking forward to replies.

OP here, did actually read Land, together with Kant and Marx and Wiener and Deluze and Guattari and all these other people so I could understand it.
But the question is, what do you read next? What else is out there?

There are also unverifiable rumours that the occultist Aleister Crowley sought to contact Hitler during World War II. Despite several allegations and speculations to the contrary, there is no evidence of such an encounter.[32] In 1991, John Symonds, one of Crowley's literary executors, published a book: The Medusa's Head or Conversations Between Aleister Crowley and Adolf Hitler, which has definitively been shown to be literary fiction.[32] That the edition of this book was limited to 350 also contributed to the mystery surrounding the topic.[32]

There's a banned book about the Finders cult that's very good, hence the ban. Cannot find it now but it was written by a former member that got out when he figured it out what they where doing smuggling orphan children to cia/feds pedo cults

Based and true.
>>22792982
They actually did! Orwell used to be one of Huxley's students, and Huxley even sent Orwell a congradulatory letter when "1984" turned out to be a hit. And I even think the success of Orwell's book was what partially inspired him to write his own.
