I'm pleased you don't like Pynchon. I never understood how he got such a fine reputation. If I want obscure but heavy I go for Hesse. Just me. The Glass Bead Game was a story that drew you in with characters and a setting, though I have to say Neil Stephenson's "Anathem" does the idea a whole lot better, and is about as long.
Okay, no cocksure Kirks and no loud music.
But you secretly want Kirk...you want him on that galactic rim...you NEED him on that galactic rim!
