À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Science and science fiction have become inseparable-with common stories, interconnected thought experiments, and shared language. This reference book lays out that relationship and its all-but-magical terms and ideas. It fully covers the terms that collected, clarified and crystallized the futurists' ideas, sometimes showing them off, sometimes slowing them down, and sometimes propelling them to fame and making them the common currency of our culture.

Reviews
"Pilkington's Science Fiction and Futurism is evidently a labor of love, and one that offers readers various avenues into the relationships among sf futurist thinking, and technological and scientific innovations...it firmly deserves a place in sf scholarship for its sheer verve, breadth of reference, and love of what sf does"-- Science Fiction Studies ; "Pilkington's book shines both by being readable and being comprehensive. It is a must-have for all scholars and students of the field."--Matthew Wilhelm Kapell, author of Star Trek as Myth: Essays on Symbol and Archetype at the Final Frontier ; "Not simply an encyclopedia of terminology, but a primer for all degrees of specialty in science fiction, brimming with references that bring together two centuries of classic and popular literature, plus movies and television."--Brian Taves, author of Hollywood Presents Jules Verne: The Father of Science Fiction on Screen., "Pilkington's book shines both by being readable and being comprehensive.
