Finally, a volume that can be used in undergraduate seminars and general education capstone courses! This text is valuable to students and professors to engage apocalyptic and political landscapes about zombies, suburbia, New York, LA, and virtuality. The tone and discourse hit the perfect level to initiate enthusiasm and maintain interest--wrapped in Pop Culture. The secondary sources are contextualized and employed expertly so students will not be intimidated, and faculty can enter meaningful discussions in the classroom or online. Perhaps the most timely is Chapter 6: Lessons from Hollywood, where the culturally divisive topic of climate change is deftly approached by Trump and Parcell.

“As visionaries of the possible, both architects and filmmakers share the ability to imagine places — cities, communities, entire environments — and to use these images as "things to think with" about our shared past, present, and potential futures. By connecting these fields and providing a roadmap to these places — in the form of a refreshingly upbeat series of essays exploring the architecture of Apocalypse and dystopia on film — Trump and Parcell's book serves as a thoughtful invitation and extremely relevant guidebook to engage all of us in these discussions, as we do the hard work of shaping the actual future through our individual and collective actions.”
