Spaceships and Politics

The Political Theory of Rod Serling

More about the book

Exploring the political themes within The Twilight Zone, this book delves into Rod Serling's use of fantasy and the supernatural to address complex issues such as capital punishment, war, and conformity. It highlights Serling's mechanistic worldview and the portrayal of human nature through aliens and machines. The analysis emphasizes Hobbesian concepts like diffidence and automata, revealing how fear shapes the individual-state relationship and reflects broader societal prejudices and alienation.
