The Silence

Don DeLillo

A sudden landing of a plane flying from Paris to New York ˙ an inexplicable erasure of the TV screen and everything loses its logic. In an apartment in Manhattan, five people are struggling to understand exactly what the unprecedented events unfold around them mean. Don Delilo started writing "Silence" in 2018, but the atmosphere of the project exudes the desolation that prevailed on the streets of America, and not only, during the measures to control the Covid-19. Perhaps the greatest living American writer lures us into the dark cave of fears posed by science, technology and their control by powers unknown to man. His predictions of society's reaction sound more prophetic than ever.
