Creating a literary narrative in a literary work requires both intrinsic elements and extrinsic elements. The intrinsic elements in a literary narrative lies within the literary work itself while extrinsic elements are influenced by outside forces. This study aims to analyze the extrinsic elements and establish the author?s worldview regarding terrorism and conspiracy theory inside the novel Deus Ex: Black Light by the author, James Swallow. In addition, this study also aims to find representations of the author?s worldview in society to determine its relevancy within the real world. This study uses Lucien Goldmann?s Genetic Structuralism, the Psychology of Terrorism by Randy Borum, and the Psychology of Conspiracy Theory by Jan Willem van Prooijen. Using Genetic Structuralism, this study collected 10 data from the novel and establishes 9 author?s worldviews from the 10 data, with 5 data used as a basis for 4 author?s worldviews regarding terrorism and another 5 data used as a basis for 5 author?s worldviews regarding conspiracy theory. All 9 author?s worldviews have their own real cases to represent their presence in society, correlating the narrative of the novel with society. The relevancy of the author?s worldview in society is also determined, with most of them being relevant in recent years with most cases representing the author?s worldview being no older than 10 years old.} }
