A study that shows the development of tech-noir as a film genre in its relationship to the Promethean myth and to earlier popular genres, particularly gothic, detective, and science fiction. It focuses on "Frankenstein", "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde", and "The Island of Dr Moreau", both texts and film adaptations, and their relationship to tech-noir.

From the post-apocalyptic world of Blade Runner to the James Cameron mega-hit Terminator, tech-noir has emerged as a distinct genre, with roots in both the Promethean myth and the earlier popular traditions of gothic, detective and science fiction. In this new volume, many well-known film and literary works - including The Matrix, RoboCop, and Mary Shelley''s Frankenstein - are discussed with reference to their relationship to tech-noir and one another. Featuring an extensive, clearly indexed filmography, Tech-Noir Film will be of great interest to anyone wishing to learn more about the development of this new and highly innovative genre.
