Humanity and Technology in Don Delillo's Novel "Zero K"

Abstract

The article explores the features of artistic understanding between humanity and technology in Delillo’s novel “Zero K”. Development and spread of digital technologies over all spheres of public life boost formation of a new civilizational paradigm and the author witnesses it. This paper examines the way author reveals subjectivity in our current post-modern society and interference of a technological influx that overtakes contemporary life. It analyzes the process by which our interdependence in machines, electronic devices have made them an extension of his own body and soul creating distorted view of technology as “another religion”.
