title = "Air Force One: Popular (Non)fiction in Flight",
abstract = "This chapter begins with a discussion of the 1997 film Air Force One and its novelization to interrogate the relationship between fictional and nonfictional narratives about the famous US presidential aircraft. How, Schaberg asks, do the fictions of this aircraft abet and merge with the nonfictional object, the actual plane? The chapter employs Foucault{\textquoteright}s concept of “governmentality” to analyze the Boeing Corporation{\textquoteright}s 2005 “product description” of the plane as both the material symbol and a site of centrally controlled power. It concludes with an analysis of a set of more recent, unofficial, narratives about Air Force One to argue that this plane—as object and text—signals a new epoch in which power elides both space and time.",
