Silence

Five friends plan to get together one Sunday in 2022 to watch the Super Bowl on the big screen at home. But this nationwide American holiday never happens because of a mysterious and terrifying event that causes all electronic devices to suddenly turn off. What is the beginning of the Third World War? Subversion of the Chinese? Implementation of Einstein's theories? Someone's evil joke on a planetary scale? The latest poetic-philosophical novel of the American classic Don DeLillo convincingly proves that sometimes a correctly formulated embarrassing question is much more important than a reassuring answer.
