Exploring the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, the book introduces the concept of "virtual trauma," highlighting how this event has left a profound cultural impact. The author, Marc Redfield, examines how the term "9/11" encapsulates both the trauma of the day and the complex ways it has been represented in various media. Through two interlinked essays, Redfield discusses the self-reflexivity in narratives surrounding 9/11, analyzing its portrayal in films like World Trade Center and United 93, which reflect the tension between reality and mediation.
