Description

Science Fiction: A Vision of the World Made Otherwise By Sherryl Vint MIT Press, 2021 This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series explores the uses of science fiction as a tool for understanding and living through rapid technological change. The world today is increasingly shaped by technology, from the devices we use to communicate with each other to the cars that drive themselves. Science fiction offers a unique perspective on these changes, imagining alternative worlds and possibilities. At its core, science fiction is about vision - a vision of the world made otherwise. This book examines what this vision entails, focusing on the core elements of science fiction and their relevance to our understanding of technology's impact on society. By exploring the uses of science fiction, Vint sheds light on the possibilities that emerge from such alternative visions. Through its examination of science fiction, this book provides insight into the ways in which we live with and respond to technological change.
