The Psychgeist of Pop Culture: The Last of Us explores the psychological themes at the heart of The Last of Us franchise. Authors from media, culture, and fandom studies explore how trauma, grief, morality, survival, and revenge shape the story’s characters and influence their choices. This book examines these themes across both video games (The Last of Us and The Last of Us 2) and HBO television adaptation, focusing on their unique approaches to telling the same emotionally resonant stories. This includes close readings of key characters - such as Ellie and Joel - and considers how their experiences reflect broader human struggles.
