Cosmopolis, written by Don DeLillo, is a novel that takes place in a single day, an April day in the year 2000. Eric Packer, a young billionaire and investment advisor, faces two challenges: betting his fortune against the rise of the yen and crossing the city in his limousine to get a haircut. During his odyssey, he gets caught in a traffic jam caused by the President's arrival, the funeral of a musical idol, a film shoot, and a political demonstration. The novel explores themes such as alienation, paranoia, sex, death, the global market, terrorism, and the relationship between power and technology.
