What are the motifs in The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon?

The novel explores the potential of anarchism to create both order and freedom in mass society. Examples such as deaf people dancing in a ballroom, or a clever demon who organizes hot and cold molecules, test the possibility of whether order can be instilled without oppressive social structures that limit individual freedom. The secret postal system, called Tristero, seeks an alternative to the control of information flow in modern society.
