This wide-ranging collection of essays re-opens the connection
between science fiction and the increasingly science-fictional
world. Kevin Alexander Boon reminds us of the degree to which the
epistemology of science fiction infects modern political discourse.
Karoly Pinter explores the narrative structures of utopian
estrangement, and Tamas Benyei and Brian Attebery take us deeper
into the cultural exchanges between science fiction and the
literary and political worlds. In the second half, Donald Morse,
Nicholas Ruddick and Eva Federmayer look at the way in which
science fiction has tackled major ethical issues, while Amy Novak
and Kalman Matolcsy consider memory and evolution as cultural
batteries. The book ends with important discussions of East German
and Hungarian science fiction by Usch Kiausch and Donald Morse
respectively. I envisage that the book will find a market both
among academics and as a recommended text to undergraduates as it
offers interesting essays on important readers. The tendency for
science fiction to be offered as a literature class to science
majors is not usually considered, but this book would be
particularly appropriate for such a market. Dr. Farah Mendelsohn,
Middlesex University
