White Noise is a revolutionary novel by Don DeLillo, awarded the National Book Award in 1985 and pushed to the elite circle of prominent postmodern author. It includes the fear of death among the main characters in surface consumptionism that drowned the United States in the second half of the 20th century. This novel tells the story of a university professor at the school called Jack Gradney, The College-on-Hill.

Jack and his wife are trapped in an industrialized network.

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.

That number flowed in our daily life, which was a fact of our society. This is true for Don DeLillo's White Noise. The fear of Jack Gladney's death is hidden in daily life. In this book, Jack builds a life filled with tangible things, and he gets little practical knowledge. He wants to put himself at Hitler's research group to give him a satisfying understanding of his existence. The two important revelations discovered by Dylar and the truly amazing knowledge about his death have great influence as he took a thorough measure.
