Description
Spacecraft explores the concept of spacecraft in science fiction and speculative philosophy. From actual rockets to fictional vessels like the Millennium Falcon, Morton examines how these objects can teach us about imagination, ecology, democracy, and the nature of objects.
The book takes readers on an intergalactic journey through science fiction, revealing real-world political and ecological lessons along the way. Morton shows that spacecraft are never mere flights of fancy, but rather complex entities with deeper meanings.
