Review # 1 was written on 2011-10-26 00:00:00 Alexander Baltz This collection on Brainwashing is not as useful to my own research but supplements Human Programming by Selisker well. Seed considers the roots of brainwashing theories in American military views of Communism and fear of totalitarianism following WWII. Then, he locates different theories of brainwashing in literature and film following its inception. Most of his work focuses on literature that introduces invasive and pervasive forms of brainwashing and the use of technology or pharmacology in brainwashing tactics. There is one section on propaganda, but not a lot on smaller scale methods to the individual within family units or in personal relationships. Still, this is a seminal text of research on brainwashing historically and in literature, especially science fiction and dystopic texts.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-01-20 00:00:00 Yee Sing Wong There have been times when I am completely lost in the family tree of Louise Erdrich's books. This book, though older, helps enormously. It tracks which character appears where in which books and how they are related to everyone else. I wish I had one of these for real life.
