Metropolis: The American City in Popular Culture
Robert Zecker
At the dawn of the talkies, one of the most popular genres was the gangster film, through which the city was often portrayed as a powerful force that sent poor souls to their doom. This work considers the development of the "cyber-city" where urban exiles use their computers to re-imagine the cities of their youth as safe, and warm places.
