AUTHOR Brake, Mark; Wyndham, Alex
PUBLISHER Tantor Audio (12/28/2021)
PRODUCT TYPE Audio (MP3 CD)

Description
From Sean Connery to Daniel Craig, James Bond is the highest-grossing movie franchise of all time. Out-grossing Star Wars, Harry Potter, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the world's most iconic and international secret agent has a shelf life of almost six decades, from Dr. No to Spectre. As nuclear missile threats are replaced by a series of subtler threats in a globalized and digital world, Bond is with us still. In The Science of James Bond, we recognize the Bond franchise as a unique genre: spy-fi. A genre of film and fiction that fuses spy fiction with science fiction. We look at Bond's obsessions with super-villains, the future, and world domination or destruction. And we take a peek under the hood of trends in science and tech, often in the form of gadgets and spy devices in chapters such as: ● Goldfinger: Man Has Achieved Miracles in All Fields but Crime! ● You Only Live Twice: The Race to Conquer Space ● Live and Let Die: Full Throttle: Bond and the Car ● Skyfall: The Science of Cyberterrorism ● And more!
