I enjoyed Zero K - I think it’s probably DeLillo at his usual finest - only Underworld and possibly The Names stand higher. I also was strongly reminded of Point Omega or, maybe in some ways, The Names.

But always willing to respond to difficult questions, I'm going to suggest that he return to the past, as Neal Stephenson did with the fabulous trilogy; alternatively, maybe he could pen a story about being best man to Richard Farina, who married Mimi, sister of Joan Baez and author of Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me.
