Hail to the Supermen: Ideology and Pop Culture (Chwała supermanom. Ideologia a popkultura) by Przemysław Witkowski has been considered by Przemysław Czapliński as ‘the monograph’ of pop culture created in the last thirty years. In his essay, Witkowski has made several attempts to reveal how the neoliberal and nationalistic ideologies are related to the popular or mass movies, TV series and shows, music, books, and other pop cultural phenomena. This article is a review of Hail to the Supermen… The author reconstructs the main assumptions and points out some of the most noticeable simplifications and general problems with the book.
