Description
Science Fiction: A Human Response to Science This fully illustrated book explores the real science behind the worldwide phenomenon of science fiction, examining how it has provided a human response to science. Drawing on a wide range of examples from literature, film, art, and popular culture, the book reviews the role of science fiction in exploring our world and our relationship with the human condition. From the anxieties and fears that have populated science fiction to the darker elements of the genre, this publication delves into the fascinating themes that underpin science fiction, including machines, travel, aliens, communication, threats, and anxiety. Featuring essays by experts, interviews with well-known science fiction authors, and reproductions of classic ephemera, graphics, and objects, the book asks what makes us human and what lies in the future to test, threaten, and even destroy humanity.
