The narrative delves into the creation of James Bond as a cultural icon, reflecting the psyche of post-World War II Britain grappling with its diminished status. Simon Winder examines the complexities of Bond's character and the world he inhabits, touching on themes such as sexuality, class, and British-American relations. Through a personal lens of fandom, the book offers a humorous yet poignant commentary on how Bond embodies the aspirations and anxieties of a nation seeking to reclaim its identity and grandeur.
