For the latest installment of our Year Zero series, we finally tackle the big one: 9/11. Specifically, the 9/11 that is presented to us by author Thomas Pynchon in his 2013 book, Bleeding Edge.
To help us do it, we've enlisted the help of Jimmy Falun Gong (@JimmyFalunGong on Twitter) of the podcast Programmed to Chill (@p2chillPodcast), and Dimitri (@drposhlost) of the Subliminal Jihad podcast (@subliminaljihad).
Because it's Pynchon, we cover a wide range of topics: Silicon Alley and the 2000 dotcom crash; the PROMIS software; Stuart Brand and the Whole Earth Network; Josh Harris and We Live In Public; the Montauk Project; MKUltra; TWA Flight 800; the Digital Entertainment Network; and much much more.
