White Noise

by Richard Powers

Jack Gladney, professor of Hitler Studies, navigates a world saturated with media, consumerism, and the dread of death. When an industrial accident unleashes an "airborne toxic event," his family's suburban anxieties spiral into existential crisis. DeLillo's darkly comic novel dissects modern life's overwhelming noise and fear.
