Just completed this.

Does the fact that the nature of the 000000/S-Gerat and the ending aren't exactly straightforward bother you?

Leaves me wishing for more, things might become clearer in a future reading, I guess.

Truth isn't objective, and you just don't know much about some things, in some cases.

Welcome to post-modernism.

I don't understand why they're making a 000001. What was the point of the first? Yes it bothers me. I wasn't made for post-modernism.

I understand this, I'm simply stating that it leaves me dissatisfied. It's not like I could voluntarily change my reaction to it.

The mystery of V. was much more enthralling for me, and still nobody "knows" who V. is. Perhaps it's because the 000000 is such an ad hoc concept, while V. is rather protean.

I just finished it a few days ago. Finally got around to reading it while I had time off.

I enjoyed the ending, albeit I found it very dark and depressing. As someone has already stated, you sometimes have to just go along for the ride. There are endless amounts of questions I have about this book, some may be able to be answered and some probably can't.

What was with the bananas? The obvious is a phallic symbol but then what was the point of the phallic symbols? Same goes for the phallic symbols in the rocket? What do they represent?

I don't know about that. He would be an outspoken fascist.
