"American Science Fiction Film and Television" presents a critical
history of late 20th Century SF together with an analysis of the
cultural and thematic concerns of this popular genre. Science
fiction film and television were initially inspired by the classic
literature of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne. The potential and fears
born with the Atomic age fuelled the popularity of the genre,
upping the stakes for both technology and apocalypse. From the Cold
War through to America's current War on Terror, science fiction has
proved a subtle vehicle for the hopes, fears and preoccupations of
a nation at war.The definitive introduction to American science
fiction, this book is also the first study to analyze SF across
both film and TV. Throughout, the discussion is illustrated with
critical case studies of key films and television series, including
"The Day the Earth Stood Still," "Planet of the Apes," "Star Trek:
The Next Generation," "The X-Files," and "Battlestar Galactica."
