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.

Through the novel "White Noise", Don DeLillo uses dark and harsh humor and subtle replacement to contrast the cruel reality of his character's life. Ironically, the supermarket helps the character deal with the surrounding world. Displacement suggested by DeLillo is disenchantment and disconnection of characters. The honesty of Jack, his family, and Wilder helps set the unique theme and understanding of the novel through the supermarket scene. Humor also sets the tone of the novel and allows the reader to understand and participate in topics such as adultery, death, Nazism. From cover to cover, DeLillo uses irony to move the supermarket and displays side-by-side anxiety around the character.
