@bmacDonald94 I wrote Pirsig, asked if he had read Korzybski, since much of what Pirsig deals with in "Zen" and in "Lila" touch on topics close to Korzybski's work. He returned my SASE saying he hadn't read Korzybski but I had piqued his interest.
"Lila" is, I think, just as brilliant, but under appreciated. And I think both are largely misunderstood.
