  abstract: "This book examines the manifestation of technoculture in everyday life as represented in Don DeLillo's work. It is argued that DeLillo advocates the weaving of technological suggestions with cultural imperatives. Technology does not eradicate one's capacity to form spiritual behaviors. DeLillo has spent decades reiterating this point in parallel with technological advance. By anatomizing the American technoculture, the author emphasizes the cultural change that accompanies technological progress. He gives particular attention to the meaning of being human in a time when technology is implicated in most if not all aspects of life. The study discloses various concealed involvements of technoculture in the characters' everydayness while attempting to dodge technological determinism. Consequently, the study highlights thematic settings wherein technology and culture collaborate rather than subdue to each other. Therefore, technoculture in DeLillo's novels is read through a broad context. Instances include the everyday use of technology as extension, the implication of image technologies in redefining history, the reconceptualization of the ethical and behavioral aspects of reality, the development of tele-visual and embodied perceptions in various technocultural spaces, and the involvement of information technologies in reconstructing the beliefs, behaviors, and activities of the posthuman"--
