The Sky Is Falling! Av Peter Biskind

<p><b>''You''ll never look at your favourite movies and TV shows the same way again. And you shouldn''t'' Steven Soderbergh<br> ''Insanely readable'' Slavoj Zizek<br>''Your book was ... like a bag of pot, with me saying, ''I''m not gonna smoke.'' But I was insatiable'' Quentin Tarantino on <i>Easy Riders, Raging Bulls</i></b><br><br>In <i>The Sky is Falling!</i> 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 <i>Game of Thrones</i> and <i>24 </i>to<i> Homeland </i>and <i>Iron Man </i>- 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.</p>
