In this unique collection of fiction and essays, some of the best
writers in the science fiction world explore our relationship to
the future through the dual lens of science fiction and cultural
studies, and provide a rich testament to the power of science
fiction to help us re-imagine reality.
Each contributor was asked to reflect on our anxiety about the new
millennium and to write about how science fiction could help us
envision the far future and future cultural spaces. The resulting
array of speculative writings, both critical and fictional, is
diverse and illuminating--from a personal essay by Marge Piercy on
love, sex and the power of fiction; to a new story by Harlan
Ellison in which consumerism is the opiate of the masses; to a
fictional book review by Kim Stanley Robinson which imagines what
future historians will say about science in the third millennium.
CONTRIBUTORS: Marleen S. Barr, Rosi Braidotti, Harlan Ellison,
James Gunn, Walter Mosley, Patrick Parrinder, Marge Peircy, Neil
Postman, Eric S. Rabkin, Kim Stanley Robinson, Pamela Sargent,
Darko Suvin, George Zebrowski.
