I think these books are all, for me, just metaphors of how I experience reality. Laney's probably a more conscious metaphor in that what he does with the nodal points is sort of like what I see myself really doing in that part of my work that some people regard as predictive. But I am sensitive to some areas from which change is emerging. I think that's pretty much the best we can do these days, because change is both exponential and in some weird, either new or newly revealed way, out of control. That's why conspiracy theories are so popular.
Conspiracy theories are big because they're comforting.
Any conspiracy is infinitely less multiplex than the real deal, which is sort of multiplex to the point of being unknowable. I can't remember where. It's probably a song title. It's either a song title or the name of a band. That's part of the pleasure of the text, when people read one of these books.
