Since the dawn of the Space Age, when the Soviet Union launched the
first artificial satellite and sent the first human into the
cosmos, science fiction literature and cinema from Russia has
fascinated fans, critics, and scholars from around the world.
Informed perspectives on the surprisingly long and incredibly rich
tradition of Russian science fiction, however, are hard to come by
in accessible form. This critical reader aims to provide precisely
such a resource for students, scholars, and the merely curious who
wish to delve deeper into landmarks of the genre, discover
innumerable lesser-known gems in the process, and understand why
science fiction came to play such a crucial role in Russian
society, politics, technology, and culture for more than a century.
