Book Presentation:
This book focuses on a selection of new media dystopias produced and distributed through Anglo-American steaming platforms in the 2010s. The author studies and theorizes them as instances of an emergent, audio-visual sub-genre of sf which is, both formally and ideologically, an ambivalent reflection of digital capitalism’s structures of feeling.
