Wired’s Mark Horowitz created an “Unofficial Guide to LA” via Thomas Pynchon’s past experiences. Horowitz announces that Pynchon,

the paranoid poet of the information age, is LA’s greatest writer. To be sure, Los Angeles—whose aerial view he likened to a printed circuit board—has always been central to the elusive writer’s weird weltanschauung, his hallucinogenic stir-fry of Cold War hysteria, high tech anxiety, and low-brow pop-culture references. But did you know he actually lived there in the ’60s and early ’70s, while writing Gravity’s Rainbow, the Moby-Dick of rocket-science novels?

Using a Zeemap, user-submitted annotations can be marked down all throughout the greater Los Angeles area. Already, they far surpass the 14 spots mentioned at the publication of this article. How very appropriate.
