Zero K is a very Don DeLillo Don DeLillo novel, if you know what I mean. No one else could have written it. Superficially, it's about a billionaire and his secret compound in a very remote location in Central Asia, where he and his researchers are working on a project to preserve human bodies until a future time when advances in medical technologies can be applied so that they can become, perhaps, immortal. Jeffrey, the billionaires son, is invited to the compound to witness the project first hand. Mysterious events take place while he is there, very Don DeLillo-like events; videos showing man's inhumanity to man screen spontaneously in empty rooms, for instance, and extremely cryptic conversations take place; nothing is explained, nothing is clear, meaning is just out of reach. It's a compelling read, DeLillo's prose is extremely slick and readable, it's almost exciting; it's just that there is almost no plot or character development..as with Murakami, reading a Don DeLillo novel is a unique experience that you don't get with any other writer. I love his work, although I can't say I know what it's about; clearly, it's about something, big issues, life and death, perhaps, terrorism, humanity and inhumanity..a very seductive book..
