David Ely, John Frankenheimer, crisis, masculinity, dystopia, consumerism, planned obsolescence, surrogates, avatar, alter egoAbstract
We analyze the importance of Seconds (1963) by David Ely through a literary-filmic and political-social analysis that uncovers aspects not described in the few papers published to date. We reveal for the first time how Seconds has become a dystopia that has stopped being one.
