Product Description
''You''ll never look at your favourite movies and TV shows the same way again. And you shouldn''t'' Steven Soderbergh
''Insanely readable'' Slavoj Zizek
''Your book was ... like a bag of pot, with me saying, ''I''m not gonna smoke.'' But I was insatiable'' Quentin Tarantino on Easy Riders, Raging Bulls
In The Sky is Falling! bestselling cultural critic Peter Biskind takes us on a dizzying ride across two decades of pop culture to show how the TV and movies we love - from Game of Thrones and 24 to Homeland and Iron Man - have taught us to love political extremism. Welcome to a darkly pessimistic, apocalyptic world where winter has come, the dead are walking, and ultra violence, revenge and torture are all in a day''s work. Welcome to the new normal.
