Bunker mentality: the family fallout shelter in US thought and culture
Tom Bishop, School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies presents this lecture.

With the release of Bethesda’s Fallout 4 set to bring these debates back to the forefront of US popular culture the time seems right to re-examine the origins of shelter culture and its depictions in film, literature and on screen.
