I just finished it.
It's a nice book, I didn't expect that the 9/11 would happen in chapter 29.
One of the themes, that this books deals, is the hope of a free Internet.
Like, when Maxine is at the DeepArcher, some hackers say that 'something is coming', people from the otherside, they will capitalized everything, they will destroy a dream. The book is kind of anti-capitalist too, with alot of critiques, and when the 9/11 happens, we go deep in a spiral of conspiracy.
The whole part of 9/11 comparing the World Trade Center with some kind of monument to the free market and the gods of capitalism. Comparing Marxism with relegion. The new religions of 21 century.
I was suprised with the programming references that poping all the time. I don't know how Pynchon made the research, but he did a good job. I didn't like when the book goes to the end, it's kind of boring, dialogues that doesn't go anywhere.

Let's dicuss this book /lit/. What's your interpretation?
