Description
Science Fiction explores the genre from 1895 to the present day, examining its relationship with science and technology. This analysis draws on examples from over forty countries, highlighting the role of special effects in creating meaning and affect. The book also considers the ways in which science fiction represents different social issues, including colonialism, imperialism, and neo-liberal globalization. It explores the genre's use of spectacle, narrative, and self-reflexivity to evoke emotions such as the sublime, the grotesque, and the camp. Key films are discussed in detail, providing insight into the ways in which science fiction reflects and shapes our understanding of the world.
