American Cities in Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction traces representations of future urban ruin across twentieth- and twenty-first-century American popular culture. Surveying pulp magazines, radio dramas, films, video games, and the transmedia franchise, Robert Yeates explores how the meeting of technological innovation with speculative imagination creates a compelling space in which to imagine and re-imagine potential urban futures. Through a series of medium-specific case studies, Yeates suggests new approaches to familiar texts such as Blade Runner and The Walking Dead, situating these within the larger history of ruined cities in American literature.
