Exterminate – Regenerate by John Higgs
Exterminate – Regenerate by John Higgs is a dazzling cultural analysis of Doctor Who, exploring how the legendary British sci-fi series mirrors the evolving identity, values, and creativity of modern Britain. Through wit, insight, and unexpected connections, Higgs shows how the show with its time travel, regeneration, and eccentric optimism reflects our collective imagination and national psyche.
Far more than fan commentary, this is a thought-provoking study of storytelling, myth, and identity, seen through the ever-shifting lens of the Doctor.
