Description
Final Frontiers: Science Fiction and Techno-Science in Non-Aligned India explores the relationship between science fiction, techno-scientific policies, and the global non-aligned movement that emerged as a response to the Cold War and decolonization.
This book-length study reveals the surprisingly long and relatively unknown life of Indian science fiction, tracing its history and critical role in imagining alternative pathways for scientific and geo-political developments.
By examining the policies of scientific and technological development in independent India and the political strategy of non-alignment advocated by Jawaharlal Nehru, Final Frontiers sheds new light on the complex relationships between literature, policy, and geo-politics.
