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. 606 $aTelevision programs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTelevision programs. 676 $a791.45/72 676 $a791.4572 700 $aFeldman$b Leslie Dale$0864387 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459497803321 996 $aSpaceships and politics$92472238 997 $aUNINA
