is a delillo an undercover weeb?
this book has some eerie similarities to evangelion.
for starters
ross = gendo
jeff = shinji
the convergence = nerv
zero k = human instrumentality
ross' decision to pursue it is to be with his wife, similar to gendo's.
instead of giant robot fights throughout we get film strips of the world being plunged into chaos through awe-inspiring natural disasters and sorts. both growing in horrific spectacle.
i'm sure this is all mere coincidence, but a pretty 'neat' one

I don't know, but Thomas Pynchon is, as seen in /his/ most recent novel.

I thought this book was about the world's easiest marathon

Pretty much for as long as the west has been aware of Japan, the greatest artists and thinkers have been weeaboos. Prove me wrong, /lit/.

That's a bit of a stretch. I like both things though. What did you think about ZeroK? I think I'll like it more on a second read, but overall I enjoyed it. the Artis Martineu chapter and the mosther son interactions were pretty cool.

Bleeding Edge? By that mark he's also a tech expert, loves browsing the deepweb, probably worked at a dot com startup for a few years, is a fan of super-amateur documentary, has ins with the russian mob, was questioned and seduced by a shadowy government agency, went to zen therapy, and is friends with a lot of errant NYC moms.
No. He just does research.
The last part might be true.

How dare you bring this nerd shit here?
Get out before I call the loser patrol.

I think he said he likes Kurosawa, which is the 70s version of being a weeb
