Summary Annotation <p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">From the postapocalyptic world of<i>Blade Runner</i>to theJames Cameron mega-hit<i>Terminator,</i>tech-noir has emerged as a distinct genre, with roots in both the Promethean myth and the earlier popular traditions of gothic, detective, and science fiction. In this new volume, many well-known film and literary works&#8212;including<i>The Matrix, RoboCop,</i>and Mary Shelley&#8217;s<i>Frankenstein</i>&#8212;are discussed with reference to their relationship to tech-noir and one another. Featuring an extensive, clearly indexed filmography,<i>Tech-Noir Film</i>will be of great interest to anyone wishing to learn more about the development of this new and highly innovative genre.</p>
