A review by sonypainstation
The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon

5.0

In this age where we have access to a near infinite amount of information, Reality becomes whatever we want it to be. We decide what we want to be true, and then find the scraps of evidence we need to confirm it. Oedipa says: Shall I project a world? This put me in a bit of an existential dilemma about what is actually real about Reality. In that state, Pynchon felt like he understood the complexity of the post-modern world, and actually had something to say about how we can operate in it as individuals.
