Science, Power, and Control in Gravity’s Rainbow: Pynchon's Postmodern Critique of Technology and Systems of Domination
View through CrossRef
Gravity's Rainbow is a very challenging postmodern novel written by Thomas Pynchon. The novel critiques the use of science and technology that contributed to overwhelming destruction and paranoia during World War II and its aftermath. The plot revolves around the metaphorical symbolism of the V-2 rocket and the protagonist, Slothrop, and explores how people become conditioned within extensive systems of power and technology. In this regard, this article examines how the notions of control, power, and domination are explored in Gravity’s Rainbow, emphasizing the role of science and technology that Pynchon describes as a destructive force that resulted in dramatic events during the Second World War which in turn has influenced the course of history to a large extent.
