A great companion to his big screen sci-fi examples in "The Philosopher at the end of the universe", Mark Rowlands turns his eye to the small screen to illustrate the inherent conflict between the 4 strands that constitute the fractured modern worldview--individualism, relativism, voluntarism and instrumentalism.
