It’s All Been There Before (Denis Newiak)
Описание книги:
Since the beginning of the Coronavirus crisis, our lives have completely changed: Shutdowns, working in home offices, contact restrictions, daily bulletins from virologists, protest movements, and conspiracy fantasies seem to have become part of our new everyday life. <br/> Could we have been prepared for this? <br/> Totally. <br/> It’s all been there before: in the movies. <br/> Science fiction films and series have always dealt with the future and its possible course, social changes, and conflicts in a speculative way. <br/> Denis Newiak searches through the scenes of pandemic movies and series to bring out ideas for how to cope with the social, political, and economic challenges of the crisis. <br/> Can the scenarios developed in film help us to pass this test—and to emerge from it with greater strength?
