Descriere
It explores the manner in which Don DeLillo’s characters experience technocultural everyday decade after decade. The changing technoculture is resisted at times by the characters, it points out to a transitional mode of being. This state does not dehumanize DeLillo’s characters as much as reveals their humanity in the postmodern world
