The booming times of market optimism--when the culture boiled with money and corporations seemed more vital and influential than governments-- are poised to crash. Eric Packer, a billionaire asset manager at age twenty-eight, emerges from his penthouse triplex and settles into his lavishly customized white stretch limousine. Today he is a man with two missions: to pursue a cataclysmic bet against the yen and to get a haircut across town. Stalled in traffic by a presidential motorcade, a music idol's funeral and a violent political demonstration, Eric receives a string of visitors--experts on security, technology, currency, finance and a few sexual partners--as the limo sputters toward an increasingly uncertain future. Cosmopolis, Don DeLillo's thirteenth novel, is both intimate and global, a vivid and moving account of the spectacular downfall of one man, and of an era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon DeLillo is the author of seventeen novels including \u003ci\u003eWhite Noise\u003c\/i\u003e, which was made into a Netflix film, \u003ci\u003eLibra\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUnderworld\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFalling Man\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eZero K\u003c\/i\u003e.
