De Stilte by Don DeLillo
A compact, tense novella that follows a small circle of people in a city when, in the midst of a widely watched sporting event, communications and electrical systems abruptly fail worldwide; stripped of screens and constant noise, the characters confront fear, confusion and the fragile frameworks—language, media, ritual—that shape contemporary life, and the narrative moves between present moments of silence and spare, reflective asides about time, memory and the unexpected intimacy that emerges when modern distractions vanish.
