Another random audio choice. This is 1976 DeLillo, his fourth novel, my first time trying him, but my attention wandered a lot. Tons of characters, most scientists, each with there own philosophy which they give in detail and that starts in their field and then goes off the rails somewhere. He plays a lot of games trying to undermine the concepts of science, logic and math as soulless. Finished earlier this month (#audio #reviewbacklog)
