   Interesting. I always wonder though if such an analysis tells us more about the analysed or the analyser.

   Interesting analysis. Just seen a documentary about “Perry Rhodan”, the longest and most successful printed Scifi series in the world. “Once upon a time” I would never have thought of reading German Scfi literature, but when something becomes “cult”, you have to take a closer look at it. Dutch teens then crossed the border to Germany to buy their current editions (in German!).

   Some authors (many had acquired “American” sounding pseudonyms) died remarkably early. While the first writers still came from the WW2 era, which obviously had an Americanization of the German post-war society in mind, the events changed according to the zeitgeist. Some were ahead of their time, others copied already existing influences, primarily from the anglosphere.

   On this occasion I would like to refer to Lutz Dammbeck’s documentary films (“The Net”, “Overgames”). He has a skilful way of pointing to the undesirable developments of our societies through the cinematic confrontation with key decision-makers and unmasking their their hidden intentions.
