White Noise Av Don Delillo

<b>The National Book Award-winning classic from the author of <i>Underworld </i>and <i>Libra</i>—<b>an “eerie, brilliant, and touching” (<i>New York Times</i>) family drama about mass culture and the numbing effects of technology—now</b> a major motion picture starring Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig<br></b><i><br>White Noise</i> tells the story of Jack Gladney, his fourth wife, Babette, and four ultra­modern offspring as they navigate the rocky passages of family life to the background babble of brand-name consumerism. When an industrial accident unleashes an "airborne toxic event," a lethal black chemical cloud floats over their lives. The menacing cloud is a more urgent and visible version of the "white noise" engulfing the Gladneys—radio transmissions, sirens, microwaves, ultrasonic appliances, and TV murmurings—pulsing with life, yet heralding something ominous.
