Lighthearted, quirky, and upbeat, this book explores the portrayal
of science and technology on both the big and little screen -- and
how Hollywood is actually doing a better job of getting it right
than ever before. Grounded in the real-word, and often
cutting-edge, science and technology that inspires fictional
science, the authors survey Hollywood depictions of topics such as
quantum mechanics, parallel universes, and alien worlds. Including
material from interviews with over two dozen writers, producers,
and directors of acclaimed science-themed productions -- as well as
scientists, science fiction authors, and science advisors --
Hollyweird Science examines screen science fiction from the
sometimes-conflicting vantage points of storytellers, researchers,
and viewers. Including a foreword by Eureka co-creator and
executive producer Jaime Paglia, and an afterword by astronomer and
science fiction author Michael Brotherton, Ph.D., this book is
accessible to all readers from the layperson to the armchair expert
to the professional scientist, and will delight all of them
equally.
