<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>As American security became increasingly dependent on technology to shape the consciousness of its populace and to defend them, science fiction shows like The Twilight Zone, Star Trek, and The X-Files both promoted the regime's gendered logic and raised significant questions about that logic and its gendered roles.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Wildermuth's examination of the significance of gender in American security state culture is both a searching analysis of science fiction television in its most formative decade and a compendium of feminist culture critique. His book will be a major inflection point for further debate on issues of philosophical and political importance." - Steven M. Sanders, Bridgewater State University, USA and editor of The Philosophy of Science Fiction Film</p> <p>"Television can both reflect and shape popular perceptions of social and political movements. In his discussion of the gendered logic of the security state, Mark E. Wildermuth advances a fascinating thesis which is strongly bolstered by his savvy and literate analysis of science fiction television. Well-chosen examples from a wide range of programs make Wildermuth's case plausible, and of interest to scholars of both science fiction and post-war political thought." - Aeon J. Skoble, author of Deleting the State and coeditor of The Philosophy of TV Noir</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Mark E.
