Science Fiction and Anticipation: Utopias, Dystopias and Time
Travel presents ten chapters discussing themes related to time
travel, utopias, and dystopias in science fiction novels published
in America and Europe between the 18th and 20th century. These
themes include social progress, freedom and human rights,
technological advances, and the issues of ethics, racism, sexism,
censorship, and slavery. The contributors analyze novels such as
The Year 2440 published in 1771, Paris in the Twentieth Century
written by Jules Verne, Blake; or, The Huts of America by Martin
Robinson Delany, The Amphibian Man by Alexander Belyaev, Heart of a
Dog by Mikhail Bulgakov, Ashes, Ashes by Rene Barjavel, The Machine
Stops by E. M. Forster, Morel's Invention by Adolfo Bioy Casares,
and writers of Spanish, Argentinian, English, and French fictions
such as George Orwell, Eduardo Ladislao Holmberg and Leopoldo
Antonio Lugones Arguello. This book notably presents their sources
and influence, the accuracy of their predictions, and their
relevance in our very unstable world.
