The digital version has a missing paragraph from the print version (where I first saw it). I vaguely recalled the name Gerry Fialka in connection to Frank Zappa, and yes, it's him: archivist, production manager, ran the Barfko-Swill mail order operation in the 80s.

Gerry Fialka has just done a second interview with me on YouTube.

Hear about why, in 1986, a New York editor rejected California Burning, my (still-unpublished) novel about wildfires and climate change) by saying: “No one cares about California.”

Der kalifornische Filmemacher Gerry Fialka setzte sich deshalb mit Freunden zusammen, um das Megawerk Seite für Seite gründlich zu lesen und zu verstehen. Das war 1995. Jetzt, 28 Jahre später, hat der Leseclub die letzte der gut 600 Seiten durchgearbeitet. Was kommt als Nächstes?

In his mind, this is already happening. Thiel said that international financial bodies, which make it more difficult for people to shelter their wealth in tax havens, are one sign the antichrist may be amassing power and hastening Armageddon, saying: "It's become quite difficult to hide one's money."
