Rocket States

[Dave Monroe]

"The book offers a synthesis between history, theories of technology,
theories of space, popular culture, literary study and military
science. It illuminates a variety of literary texts from key writers
and thinkers such as Pynchon, Stephen King, Norman Mailer, and Tom
Wolfe, while also invoking figures like Nikola Tesla, James Webb,
Batman and Ronald Reagan."

[...]

"Collignon's argument is concerned with identifying the recurring
figures and fantasies of the Cold War: the dome or parabola as
sheltering techno-form; the fictions of total security adapting to
constantly changing targeting strategies; gadget love; closed,
freezing worlds."
