Description
"Peppered with pop-culture fun-facts about Superman's kryptonite, the human-machine relationships in the cult TV show Firefly, and the sexual and moral implications of the film Ex Machina, [this book] explores how the techno-triumphs and resulting anxieties of reality bleed into the fantasies of our collective culture ... By looking back at the future she once imagined, analyzing the plugged-in present, and speculating on what is on the horizon, Terri Favro allows readers the chance to consider what was, what is, and what could be. This is a ... book that looks at the pop-culture of our society to explain how the world works--now and tomorrow"--Amazon.com.
