    Introduction: Individual and Society -- Henry James, The Princess Casamassima (1886) -- Jack London, The Assassination Bureau, Ltd. (1910/63) -- Robert Penn Warren, All the King's Men (1946) -- Philip K. Dick, Solar Lottery (1955) -- Richard Condon, The Manchurian Candidate (1959) -- Loren Singer, The Parallax View (1970) -- Don DeLillo, Libra (1988) -- Stephen King, The Dead Zone (1979) -- Stephen King, 11/22/63 (2011) -- Mark Costello, Big If (2002) -- Nicholson Baker, Checkpoint (2004) -- Noah Hawley, The Good Father (2012) -- Conclusion. "Given that assassination is such a widespread trope in American culture, it is surprising that there is no scholarly monograph on assassination in American fiction providing either an overview or a critical assessment of the field. Vote with a Bullet achieves both, offering not only the first systematic study of American assassination fiction but also a coherent argument about its larger cultural, aesthetic, and political significance in the present moment as well as in the respective historical contexts of the works themselves. This study argues that American assassination fiction offers a symbolic condensation of the larger conflict between individual and society that is at the heart of modern democracy, and that has been especially contested in the democratic culture of the US. Starting with Henry James's The Princess Casamassima (1886) and ending with Noah Hawley's The Good Father (2012), the study analyzes thirteen works that range from canonical classics (Penn Warren's All the King's Men) to science fiction (Philip K. Dick's Solar Lottery)to popular genre fiction (Stephen King's The Dead Zone and 11/22/63) to historiographic metafiction (Don Delillo's Libra). It finds a loose yet identifiable continuum of assassination fiction, an imaginary laboratory in which fantasies of individual empowerment and/or social unity play out in very different ways. The texts combine aesthetics and politics to negotiate the tension between individualism and mass society in a democracy that is based on the former, which it must nevertheless restrict if it is to constitute the latter. Furthermore, the study connects the imaginary of assassination with a variety of related themes such as hegemonic masculinity and whiteness, electoral and non-electoral political choice, agency panic, subjectivity, conspiracies and conspiracy theory, and the respective sociohistorical context of each publication, with a particular view to how different generic frameworks have shaped varieties of assassination fiction at certain points in American history"--

    "What only a few decades ago would have been considered a totalitarian nightmare seems to have become reality: Surveillance practices and technologies have infiltrated all aspects of our lives, forcing us to reconsider established notions of privacy, subjectivity, and the status of the individual in society. The United States is central to contemporary concerns about surveillance. American companies are at the forefront of developing surveillance technologies; and government agencies, in the name of security and law and order, are monitoring our words and actions more than ever before. This book brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to explore the implications of what many consider to be a far-reaching reaching social, political, and cultural transformation"--

    "This volume investigates dystopia in twenty-first-century US fiction. Using a methodological framework based on sociology, it theorizes a correlation between the crisis of the Frontier myth and of American exceptionalism and a renewed interest in dystopian worlds. Part One illustrates the methodological framework, exploring the concept of dystopia, offering an overview of the American myths and of their current status and spotlighting some relevant sociological theories. Part Two applies the proposed methodological framework to four texts, investigating the sub-genres of political, technological and environmental dystopia. The primary works, chosen to show both the relevance of the abovementioned American myths to dystopian narratives and the pervasiveness of the genre across the media, are Margaret Atwood's The Testaments (2019), Dave Eggers's The Circle (2013), David Cage's video game Detroit: Become Human (2018), and the Hughes Brothers' 2010 movie The Book of Eli"--

    «Valentina Romanzi’s study is a welcome addition to the body of scholarship on dystopia, utopia science fiction, and speculative fiction. It provides a comprehensive and updated review of the complex and rich debate on the question of genres and subgenres, while at the same time offering a fresh perspective. Eloquent and very well written, this volume reveals America’s fascination with catastrophic future scenarios, including the post-apocalyptic, delving into the issues that surround critical dystopia, progress, hope and fear. The close readings offer lucid, insightful interpretations of texts that range from SF literary ancestor, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein to Margaret Atwood’s award winning The Testaments, sequel to the acclaimed The Handmaid’s Tale.»(Eleonora Rao, Università degli Studi di Salerno) This volume investigates dystopia in twenty-first-century US fiction.

    Vote with a Bullet is the first systematic study of assassination in American fiction. It proffers not only a fundamental overview of the genre but also an argument about its larger cultural, aesthetic, and political significance in the present moment as well as in the respective historical contexts of the works themselves.The study argues that American assassination fiction is a symbolic condensation of the larger conflict between individual and society that is at the heart of modern democracy, and that has been especially contested in the democratic culture of the US. Starting with Henry James's The Princess Casamassima (1886) and ending with Noah Hawley's The Good Father (2012), the chapters analyze twelve works ranging from canonical classics to popular genre fiction. A conclusion considers Thomas Pynchon's Against the Day (2006). The book describes the loose continuum of assassination fiction as an imaginary laboratory in which fantasies of individual empowerment and social unity play out in different ways, negotiating the tension between individualism and mass society in a democracy that is based on the former but must restrict it to preserve the latter. Furthermore, the study connects the imaginary of assassination with a variety of related themes such as hegemonic masculinity and whiteness, electoral and non-electoral political choice, agency panic, subjectivity, as well as conspiracies and conspiracy theory

    "What only a few decades ago would have been considered a totalitarian nightmare seems to have become reality: Surveillance practices and technologies have infiltrated all aspects of our lives, forcing us to reconsider established notions of privacy, subjectivity, and the status of the individual in society. The United States is central to contemporary concerns about surveillance. American companies are at the forefront of developing surveillance technologies; and government agencies, in the name of security and law and order, are monitoring our words and actions more than ever before. This book brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to explore the implications of what many consider to be a far-reaching reaching social, political, and cultural transformation"--
