Don DeLillo’s satiric novel White Noise, prophetic in 1985 about American society’s rampant consumerism, information overload, overreliance on the media, and environmental problems, may seem to today’s students simply a description of their lived reality. The challenge for teachers, then, is to help them appreciate both the postmodern qualities of the novel and its social critique.
