Synopsis:
A college town is invaded by the “white noise” of modern America—radio waves, television, consumer culture, and an ever-present undercurrent of fear. Jack Gladney, creator and chair of Hitler Studies at the local college, navigates family life with his wife Babette and their blended household while confronting a growing obsession with mortality. After a nearby industrial accident releases a toxic cloud, the family’s routines are disrupted and Jack’s fear of death intensifies. As Jack and Babette seek comfort and answers—through medication, secrets, and the promises of technology and mass media—the novel satirizes the ways modern life shapes identity, belief, and anxiety.
