Reviews

This book is a thoughtful and well-researched study of the burgeoning subfield of philosophy focusing on popular culture, which is in many ways the dominant global form of contemporary mythmaking. Drawing on sources ranging from Wittgenstein, Sartre, and Darwin to Foucault, Braidotti, and Bauman, the author takes the reader on a boisterous ride through the MCU, focusing on the question of what makes us human, and how our constant tendency towards inhumanity towards those different from us manifests in big screen treatments of superheroes and their antagonists, whether they be mutants, androids, or aliens.--Robert A. Saunders, Distinguished Professor of Geopolitics and International Relations, The State University of New York
