The premise is interesting, and DeLillo makes his case intellectually, but he is incredibly pretentious. There isn't a single character you can care about. They are all self hating ciphers and what little plot there is is merely an excuse to explore a sociopolitical essay. I could barely get through this book even though it is hardly beyond novella length. Reading every chapter was an absolute chore.”
