 | | In 'Americana,' 'Mao II,' and 'Underworld,' Don DeLillo depicts a future world where language and literature are no longer used to exercise the human mind. |
 | | Instead, people are dependent on high technology, such as film, television, and the Web. |
 | | Karen Janney, a central character in 'Mao II,' watches the news on a television set without volume, simply absorbing information provided by the screen images alone. |
