Sommario/riassunto |
|
During the Korean War, the horror of 'brainwashing' gripped the Western imagination. David Seed traces the assimilation of the notion of brainwashing into science fiction, political commentary, & conspiracy narratives of the Cold War era, showing how these fantasies express the anxieties of the time. |
