White Noise

Now a Netflix film, White Noise, winner of the National Book Award, follows Jack Gladney and his family as they grapple with the complexities of modern life amid brand-name consumer culture. Their existence is disrupted when an industrial accident releases a lethal black chemical cloud, serving as a stark metaphor for the pervasive "white noise" of contemporary society, filled with the sounds of technology and media that offer both comfort and foreboding.
