The character's complexity feels rooted in real-world fears about fame and violence. I wonder what the author wanted to convey about the modern identity crisis.

The way DeLillo explores how stories and images influence public perception made me think about today's social media landscape. Was this a deliberate reflection of current events?

The shifts in timeline kept me guessing and made the themes of disconnection and chaos feel more visceral. Would the story have been as powerful with a straightforward structure?
