David Lavery, Angela Hague, Marla Cartwright
Syracuse University Press, 1996 - Fiction - 233 pages

The X-Files was one of the most subversive and longest-running science fiction series in US television history. Yet very little serious work has been done to examine the hit series. Deny All Knowledge examines topics such as:

- Why is the series such a hit worldwide?

- Why is The X-Files so popular online, generating dozens of websites and chat groups daily?

- How does The X-Files' Conspiracy Theory compares to shows from the 1950s?

- Can The X-Files be considered a modern-day myth?

- What does The X-Files tell us about gender roles today?
