A review by titobaker
White Noise, by Don DeLillo
3.0
impressive
There were aspects of White Noise so prescient that they verged on clairvoyant. Fascinating story given all we’ve been through the past few years with COVID. On the flipside, while I can understand Delillo's concern about mass consumption, consumerism, media and advertising in the 80s, we're so far gone in 2023 that all of these topics seem alarmist and hysterical to me.
That said, this one get a "me likey" from me. Will check out some more Delillo in the future.
