Spaceships and Politics: The Political Theory of Rod Serling
examines the political themes in The Twilight Zone. In this unique
show, Rod Serling used fantasy and the supernatural to explore
political ideas such as capital punishment, the individual and the
state, war, conformity, the state of nature, prejudice, and
alienation. He used aliens and machines to understand human nature.
While the themes in The Twilight Zone often reflected political
concerns of the time, like the Cold War and post-industrial
technology, the messages had broader political implications. This
book looks at Serling's mechanistic view of the world and emphasis
on fear through Hobbesian themes like diffidence and automata.
