The objective of this paper is to study Don DeLillo's White Noise from the viewpoint of technology and existential crisis. In White Noise, Don DeLillo explores America in which technology has become not only a pervasive and mortal threat to each individual, but also a deeply ingrained mode of existence and way of thinking. Like Martin Heidegger, DeLillo speculates about the essence of technology, the mutually reinforcing character of technology and consumer capitalism, the inauthenticity of contemporary existence, and the existential analysis of death.
DeLillo asserts that the more vigorously man pursues the ultimate dream of modem technological science - the conquest of the final natural limit, death -the more rapidly that dream seems to recede and the more imminent the historically unprecedented nightmare that technology visits upon man. The most sinister and insidious aspect of modem technology is its more or less undetectable effect on the psyche. To put this in Heideggerian terms, technology tends to impose on man an inauthentic existence. Especially, technological media - television, the tabloids, radio, cinema - ultimately create their own reality. According to Jean Baudrillard, images created by the reproductive media dominate our society. Those images are simulacra, copies with no original. The hyper reality represents a much more advanced phase, in the sense that the contradiction between the real and the imaginary is effaced. Hyper reality possesses the seemingly limitless power to transform and reconstitute the very being of the contemporary individual.
The objectification of contemporary man spreads through culture via the everyday consumer activities of the American family. The relentless shopping of the Gladney family provides the chief means by which they constitute their existence. Especially when Jack and Babette suffer from an attack of anxiety and dread, they rush their family off to the supermarket for another quick fix of commodification. So we can say that the reijication of contemporary man is a major theme in DeLillo's novel. But DeLillo is reluctant to become identified with any specific political agenda, and refuses to offer a wholesale plan for social transformation. DeLillo remains deeply suspicious of the political prudence of all outspoken and "practicing" theoreticians. DeLillo suggests that attempts to impose conceptual clarity and theoretical rigor on the habits of many human beings too often tend to result in a dangerous form of mystification. He only speculates on the relationship between modem technology and postmodem political life. He urges that we need a chance to reconsider the contemporary American life which modem technological science may pose.
