![]() The book has surveillance (not a spoiler, but the director's films are related to this), conspiracies, serial killers, a fixation on the Interstate Highway System, and systems, nodes, and occult "points of power" in general. ![]() One of the book's blurbs mentions Thomas Pynchon, which makes sense, but it's a leaner and more cohesive version of this. ![]() The "obscure" film by a foreign (or is he?) director has the pixelated guy in it, which launches the narrator into a quest to locate the director. He is freaked out, but basically tries to forget it until he attends a film screening with a friend. The narrator of The History of America in My Lifetime works for a shredding company, and on the way back from an "information destruction" conference sees a strange man on his flight with a pixelated face. Plot-wise, this is a linear novel with a series of events that flow into one another (things get weird, but more on this shortly). ![]()
