₨ 830
*White Noise* by Don DeLillo is a darkly satirical novel that explores the effects of media, consumerism, and technology on modern life. The story follows Jack Gladney, a college professor of “Hitler Studies,” and his eccentric family as they navigate the absurdities of contemporary existence. Set in a small American town, the novel delves into the omnipresence of technology and media in shaping people’s perceptions, focusing on the fear of death, the intrusion of the media into everyday life, and the alienating effects of modern society. When a mysterious toxic event, known as “The Airborne Toxic Event,” disrupts their lives, the family is forced to confront their own mortality in an increasingly chaotic world. *White Noise* blends dark humor with a critique of postmodern culture, offering a sharp commentary on the ways technology and media affect human consciousness, identity, and relationships. It’s a provocative and thought-provoking work that captures the anxieties of living in an increasingly mediated world.
