About this book

In Pretend We're Dead, The author Annalee Newitz argues that monsters in American media, like zombies and murderers, symbolize capitalism's violent contradictions. They represent overwork, corporate conformity, and profit-driven motives. Newitz explores how capitalism turns people into monsters, tracing them from B-movies to literary classics since the late nineteenth century.
