Inherent Vice is a 2009 postmodern detective novel by Thomas Pynchon, set in the hazy, late-1960s Los Angeles counterculture, following private investigator Larry "Doc" Sportello as he navigates a convoluted case involving his ex-girlfriend, a missing billionaire, and a vast conspiracy, blending noir tropes with psychedelic humor and social commentary on the end of the "Summer of Love". It's known for its complex, shaggy-dog plot, drug-fueled atmosphere, and Pynchon's signature style, often recommended as a more accessible entry point to his work. “The funniest book Pynchon has written"(Rolling Stones).
