it has a general theme (as does most of pynchon's work, and much of the literature of the time) of paranoia, and conspiracy. some grand conspiracy that is always just beyond your reach. he's also big on the idea of chaos and entropy, and that shows up to some extent, as I recall, though not as much as in his other work. I always think of him as being somewhere between kurt vonnegut jr and william s burroughs.
