The Theme Park of Forking Paths: Text, Intertext and Hypertext in Westworld, Alex Goody.- 15. Yul Brynner's Hat and Time Travel in the Hyperreal, Leander Reeves.- 16. Epilogue, Alex Goody and Antonia Mackay., Reading Westworld is the first volume to explore the cultural, textual and theoretical significance of the hugely successful HBO TV series Westworld . The essays engage in a series of original enquiries into the central themes of the series including conceptions of the human and posthuman, American history, gaming, memory, surveillance, AI, feminism, imperialism, free will and contemporary capitalism. In its varied critical engagements with the genre, narratives and contexts of Westworld , this volume explores the show's wider and deeper meanings and the questions it poses, as well considering how Westworld reflects on the ethical implications of artificial life and technological innovation for our own futurity. With critical essays that draw on the interdisciplinary strengths and productive intersections of media, cultural and literary studies, Reading Westworld seeks to respond to the show's fundamental question; "Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?" It will be of interest to students, academics and general readers seeking to engage with Westworld and the far-reaching questions it poses about our current engagements with technology.

    It arrived a lot earlier than expected. In perfect condition as described. Packaged perfectly in this box which I would never of thought it'd fit in. The best jacket for Playstation Fans. Got it on an auction so it was a lot cheaper than other sellers, good value. Thank you for being a good seller on ebay, and selling me this timeless iconic Jacket.

    Shipped very quickly, arrived in the condition as described and shown in the photos. Packaging was disappointing, just a snug polymailer with no padding, but it arrived safely in spite of that. Overall I’m happy with the purchase, thanks!
