The sky is falling! - Peter Biskind

'You'll never look at your
favourite movies and TV shows the same way again. And you shouldn't'
Steven Soderbergh
'Insanely readable'
Slavoj Zizek
'Your book was ... like a bag of pot, with me saying, 'I'm not gonna
smoke.' But I was insatiable' Quentin Tarantino on Easy Riders, Raging Bulls

In The Sky is Falling!
bestselling cultural critic Peter Biskind takes us on a dizzying ride
across
two decades of pop culture to show how the TV and movies we love - from Game of Thrones and 24 to Homeland and Iron Man -
have taught us to love political extremism. Welcome to a darkly
pessimistic, apocalyptic world where winter has come, the dead are
walking, and ultra violence, revenge and torture are all in a day's
work. Welcome to the new normal.
