This book explores the multiple types of irony--technological, invasive, martial, sociopolitical, and domestic--that were employed by the classic television show The Twilight Zone. Each of these uses of irony acts as a critique of a specific aspect of American culture, but all inform each other, creating a larger sense of social critique.
