The bombers create a sense of suspense and also a question of mystery in the novel. It is obvious that the society is involved in some kind of international crisis. However, the people are so concerned with their own happiness and pleasure, that they simply ignore the bombers and wish for 'one more TV wall screen". The presence of the bombers shows how far their pursuit of happiness has gone. They ignore a worldwide crisis which might and does destroy them. After all, to think about a war would make one unhappy.
