Más información sobre el libro
Examining the evolution of films about infectious diseases, this book reveals how narratives have shifted from seeking solutions to depicting dystopian survival in a post-pandemic world. It highlights America's transition from optimism in addressing social issues to a sense of despair, reflecting a broader critique of capitalism's global spread and its impact on individualism versus the public good. The authors, experts in history and information sciences, analyze how these cinematic themes mirror societal changes and the growing influence of technology and trade.
