The "zero-oneness" of the world thirty odd years later, although it still may be an uncommon thought in literature, is ubiquitous in the visual arts, in film and in architecture, and binary code has become the basis of our digitally enhanced reality. Looking at DeLillo's Millennial novels, this paper seeks to explore models of the space-time continuum of the fictional reality that DeLillo constructs; focusing on Ratner's Star as a literary exploration of a three-dimensional space and on the novel Body Artist as an investigation of the fourth dimension, pondering time, we hope to register the "sum total of one's data" (WN) as the only palpable texture of DeLillo's realityV svojem zgodnjem romanu Ratner's Star (1976), ki odkrito obravnava svet kot zaporedje ničel in enic, DeLillo prvič izpostavi zamisel,da je ustvarjanje realnosti matematične narave. "Ničelnost" sveta kakih trideset let pozneje, čeravno ne tako pogosta misel v književnosti, je vsepovsod prisotna v likovni umetnosti, filmu in arhitekturi, medtem pa tvori binarni sistem podlago za našo digitalno okrepljeno realnost. Članek proučuje DeLillove romane ob prelomu tisočletja in skuša odkriti modele avtorjevega prostorsko-časovnega kontinuuma fikcijske realnosti; s posebnim ozirom na roman Ratner's Star, ki pomeni literarno raziskavo tridimenzionalnega prostora, in Body Artist, ki odkriva četrto dimenzijo - čas, se članek nadeja vpogleda v "skupno vsoto vseh podatkov" kot edinega oprijemljivega tkiva DeLillove realnostiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta, Znanstvena založba
