Drawing on Schmitt’s notion of the state of exception and its basis in the unpredictability of tomorrow, it looks at the political ramifications when the moment of the future finally arrives.With analysis of films such as Alien, Blade Runner and Minority Report, Eli Park Sorensen explores how power reconfigures itself to ensure the survival of the state, what ‘society’ means, who ‘we, the people’ are, and whether it will still be possible to retain a sphere of liberal, individual rights after the transformative event of the future.
