Almost everything has been invoked to account for Trump's victory and the rise of alt-right, from job loss to racism to demography - everything, that is, except popular culture. In The Sky Is Falling best-selling cultural critic, Peter Biskind, dives headlong into two decades of popular culture - from superhero franchises such as the X-Men and the Avengers and series like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones to thrillers like Homeland and 24 - and emerges to argue that these shows are saturated with the values that are currently animating our extreme politics.

Could have been an essay

This book spent way to much time on the same examples to make the same points. Every chapter made the same points, and often with the same shows and films as examples. Not sure why it was necessary to include racial slurs, but perhaps the author fell victim to the shock he was trying to critique. Huge waste of time.
