He discovers that New York is actually at a standstill: the president's motorcade is passing through the city, a rapper's funeral is underway, a violent anti-globalization demonstration is taking place in Times Square... His limousine is heading toward an increasingly uncertain future. In this novel, plot is not the first thing. For DeLillo, plot is simply a vehicle for his poignant and entertaining observations and reflections on contemporary American society. Through fragmented scenes, the novel shows the relationship between alienation and fantasy, art and commerce, reality and imagination, sex and death, global market and terrorism, and the real world composed of all these is like a kaleidoscope of postmodern discourse.
