초록
This study aims to examine a skeptical aspect of the posthuman view focused on Zero K (2016) written by Don DeLillo. The novel presents Ross Lockhart, a hedge fund manager, who has obscenely made billions from the profit impact of natural disasters, and primary investor in a secret cryonics facility, Convergence. He is inspired by the terminal illness of his second wife Artist Martineau to seek immortality through cryonics. The novel’s narrator and Ross’s son, Jeffrey Lockhart, offers readers a tour of the cryonics facility where death is controlled and bodies are preserved until time to come when new technologies can return them to a life of transcendent promise. However, DeLillo appears to be skeptical of immortality. The bodies in their cryonic state are perceived by Jeffrey as forms of visionary and body art. Artist, through her name and profession as an archeologist, bears this message. In short, DeLillo, known as the writer constructing pathways into the future, makes readers think “What will it be like to come back?” by juxtaposing mannequins and frozen bodies in Convergence.
Abstract
This study aims to examine a skeptical aspect of the posthuman view focused on Zero K (2016) written by Don DeLillo. The novel presents Ross Lockhart, a hedge fund manager, who has obscenely made billions from the profit impact of natural disasters, and primary investor in a secret cryonics facility, Convergence. He is inspired by the terminal illness of his second wife Artist Martineau to seek immortality through cryonics. The novel’s narrator and Ross’s son, Jeffrey Lockhart, offers readers a tour of the cryonics facility where death is controlled and bodies are preserved until time to come when new technologies can return them to a life of transcendent promise. However, DeLillo appears to be skeptical of immortality. The bodies in their cryonic state are perceived by Jeffrey as forms of visionary and body art. Artist, through her name and profession as an archeologist, bears this message. In short, DeLillo, known as the writer constructing pathways into the future, makes readers think “What will it be like to come back?” by juxtaposing mannequins and frozen bodies in Convergence.
