Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. First U.S. edition paperback by North Atlantic Books, 2014. Reprint of the 2008 U.K. Strange Attractor edition. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "What do the atomic bomb, The Twilight Zone, LSD, the suburbs, flying saucers, and brainwashing all have in common? WEL…COME TO MARS reveals the connections between them, showing the relationship between postwar paranoia, modern science, and pop culture from 1947 to 1959. Drawing on declassified government archives, newspaper records, ad campaigns, and B-movies, author Ken Hollings weaves an intricate web of Cold War politics and 1950s pop culture, describing a feedback loop in which real technological advances and government experimentation gave rise to science fiction--which then fed new innovation and research. Hollings explores 1950s' fantasies of contacting life on other planets, the 'red terror' invoked by flying-saucer movies, tales of eugenic utopias that hinted at the darker side of suburbia, and mind-control science-fiction stories giving voice to the public's fear of government or foreign experiments in 'brainwashing' and medical research into altering consciousness. From suburban planning to the space race, WELCOME TO MARS makes startling connections between science fact and science fiction." [publisher copy] "Ken Hollings has placed his critical focus at the precise point where the high technologies of information control and social manipulation intersect the passionate search for scientific ways to probe the human mind. WELCOME TO MARS is a searingly accurate and deeply disturbing exposé of the fantasies of American modernism that have inspired the many nightmares and the few hopeful visions of our new Millennium."--Dr. Jacques Vallée. "In WELCOME TO MARS, Ken Hollings details how Cold War politics, altered states of consciousness, extraterrestrial beings, postwar optimism and imagination came together in a strange maelstrom during the 1950s. Hollings approaches each year of the decade like a midcentury radio broadcaster, stitching together the various myths, facts and events into a brilliant cultural and scientific history. A highly entertaining examination of the postwar decade's obsession with the weird and otherworldly, which shaped both science and culture."--Shelf Awareness. "WELCOME TO MARS is a map of the post-war Zone, a nonfiction Gravity's Rainbow that follows the arc of Germany's V2 rocket to the end of the rainbow--to America."--Erik Davis. "You are interested in the unknown, the mysterious, the unexplainable. That is why you are here."--Criswell, Plan 9 from Outer Space. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.
