The last time The Walking Dead delivered a season finale, the response was mixed, to put it delicately.

William Gibson-a founding father of the now-classic science-fiction subgenre called cyberpunk-has said that SF strain has become a “standard Pantone shade in pop culture.” (The question of cyberpunk’s fate had been posed to him in a fantastic Motherboard article by SF critic-and YACHT member-Claire Evans.)

Jonathan Glazer and Scarlett Johansson craft a visionary, thought-provoking sci-fi masterpiece.

Jude Law stars as the hedonistic, loud-mouthed Dom Hemingway, a London lowlife on the wrong side of middle-age and fresh off a twelve year prison stint.

Pop music fiends would stick the lead single, “Hot Tonight,” on their mix CDs, right between Plain White T’s’ “Hey There Delilah” and The Strokes’ “12:51.” It’s like we’ve traveled to 2004, we’re still using MP3 CD players and some of the cool kids even have iPods.

The EC Comics Library showcases the heyday of William Gaines’ EC Comics publishing company during the golden age of comics.

Few darker figures emerged from the Bush administration, but Morris doesn’t bash his subject. Rumsfeld comes off as a contemplative, calculating politician with striking intelligence, shielded by hubris and a smile which never really fits.
