Presidency Upending

Can a dystopian novel help us predict America’s future? And what can we learn from an Italian ere shaped by an attention-seeking populist? Clare and Zim sit down with Adriano Tedde, Lecturer in Strategic and American Studies at Deakin’s Centre for Future Defence and National Security, to explore how Italy’s past mirrors modern America and how popular culture may act as a crystal ball for what lies ahead.
