Don Delillo is a prophet of an American novel. White noise was published in 1985, the final interpretation of the post modern era and the rise of technology. The hero is the head of the Hitler research department trying to escape death. Just as the hero and his friends visit the most popular barn in America, there are lots of irony, absurd conversations touching the ubiquitous image of our pixelated era. The tourists clustered in the barn did not see it, but saw the totem where the barn was, took it in the picture, and then clustered with the masses. When politics becomes a real show, his depiction of the real world DeLillo's reality distortion and real world and analog content can no longer be recognized is particularly noticeable.
