    Bleeding Edge is also more obviously topical than earlier works. The novel focuses on the growing role of the Internet in our lives, and also on the 9/11 attacks. Bleeding Edge is bursting with insights into U.S. society—and New York in particular—just before and after the destruction on September 11, 2001; the contrast is marked.

    Bleeding Edge is set in 2001; it is a novel about dotcoms and 9/11. Contemporary events can be dangerous territory for a novelist (remember John Updike's Terrorist ?), but Bleeding Edge, perhaps unexpectedly, is a valedictory, updating the author's thematic preoccupations for this century while stressing their fundamental continuity.

    Shortly afterwards, "bleeding-edge technology" is defined as "no proven use, high risk, something only early-adoption addicts feel comfortable with." Thus, there's a sense in which fatuous post-modernism, pseudorandomness, illiteracy, greed and the bleeding edge of culture or technology are conflated in this novel.

Silicon Alley is a ghost town, Web 1.0 is having adolescent angst, Google has yet to IPO, Microsoft is still considered the Evil Empire.

    David Cowart (bio) University of South Carolina cowartd@mailbox.sc.edu Abstract An ironic engagement with history sets Thomas Pynchon's Bleeding Edge apart from other 9/11 fictions. Engaging in a shadow polemic on the historiographical responsibilities of the literary artist, Pynchon critiques a burgeoning technology (the Internet) and the economic order it serves.

    Abstract. Abstract: This article argues that Thomas Pynchon's Bleeding Edge (2013) can be read within the canon of 9/11 novels in unexpected and productive ways. Its rich, intertwined narrative of the Internet and 9/11 both echoes early 9/11 novels and departs from them as it builds a trenchant critique of neo-liberalism.
