In this unique show, Rod Serling used fantasy and the supernatural to explore political ideas such as capital punishment, the individual and the state, war, conformity, the state of nature, prejudice, and alienation. He used aliens and machines to understand human nature. This book looks at Serling's mechanistic view of the world and emphasis on fear through Hobbesian themes like diffidence and automata.Television programsTelevision programs.791.45/72791.4572Feldman Leslie Dale1475515MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785321903321Spaceships and politics3689742UNINA
