    I love this book. Just finished reading it for the first time tonight. Totally brilliant. Oddly realistic given Covid19 world, which is very scary to think about.

      DeLillo is a cool writer. Yep I first read this probably 10 years ago and it's still a favorite. It's really a criticism of everything really as far as consumerism, shadowy corporations, Big pharma, conspiracy theory culture, aka no one really knowing what's going on, but the narrative is anchored by a family story. The easiest book to get postmodernism, brilliant. My issue with people like JB Peterson is he tried to make it political which is false, because pomo is really relativistic worldview, not a political ideology. That's why I don't like him. He assumed people would take his words at face value

    Thank you so much for being a palatable theorist.

    Friday, March 13, the Los Angeles Unified School district shut down. I couldn't help but to think about "the airborne toxic event" and this novel.

      Right on. It's a good book. But I'm vaccinated. My intent to this wasn't to spread any conspiracy about the virus that's killed 400k plus people; but more so how people would take the virus and make their own subjective truths and conspiracy and paranoia about it
