The beginning of the 21st century was a time of unprecedented events in American society: Y2K, 9/11 and the wars that followed, partisan changes in government and the rapid advancements of the Internet and mass consumerism.

This collection of new essays examines dozens of movies released 1998-2020 and how they drew upon and spoke to mass cultural fears.
