Cosmopolis. Don DeLillo

A young billionaire is driving his luxurious limousine to get a haircut. He weaves through traffic jams, sees the broadcast of the president's arrival, and finds himself in the heart of an anarchist demonstration. During the journey, which will last all day, he will be joined by advisers, assistants, mistresses, and doctors - the day becomes a projection of his entire life.
Eric does not stop for a second in his reflections. Why is it that in the moments when we risk our lives, we experience it most fully? Is it true that everything created by man imitates natural models, and we ourselves are not capable of inventing anything new? Finally, what happened to the Japanese yen and what will this lead to?
Don DeLillo's novel is a bitter reflection on what it means to live in the America of the future. Will we remain human in the era of displays and ubiquitous cameras? The author has the answer to this question - and it is in this novel.
