En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores a unique cycle of American films from the 1950s and early 1960s that blend horror and science fiction. These films, characterized by themes of alien invasions and biological mutations, reflect a shift from optimism about technology to feelings of paranoia and fear. They critique technophobia and highlight the military's pervasive influence on society, using it as a backdrop for character development and conflict. This analysis reveals how these films anticipated the darker, dystopian narratives that would emerge in later science fiction.
