More about the book
The book offers a radical examination of the concept of the Universal Adversary, an abstract enemy that has gained prominence in U.S. emergency planning documents. It delves into the implications of this concept, particularly in relation to the 'disgruntled worker,' and connects it to historical tropes of state power and resistance, such as the Zombie, the Devil, and the Pirate. This exploration highlights how these figures shape perceptions of threat and disorder within the context of security and emergency preparedness.
