Hmmm. Could you be more specific than that? "We live as we dream alone" seems to be about the struggle between alienation and the urge to connect, and peppered with "Heart of Darkness" quotes too. But what else did you have in mind?
Love the Y2K and peak oil thing. Google serendipity! One of the traditionalists' arguments against electronic texts used to be that you couldn't stumble on stuff in the library on the shelf next to what you were looking for. That was just proved wrong!
