“Together, they make up a small Army of Dark Engineers who could run the World. The Sino-Jesuit conjunction may prove a greater threat to Christendom than ever the Mongols or the Moors. Pray that more than the Quarrel over Feng Shui divides them.” - Pynchon’s Benjamin Franklin

OK! I think Murakami may be clicking with me this time around! It feels like this is the book he has been trying to write all along.

Chris Via is on page 135 of 480 of Nicomachean Ethics
