This collection of essays explores current thematic and aesthetic
directions in fictional science narratives in different genres,
predominantly novels, but also poetry, film, and drama. The ten
case studies, covering a range of British and American texts from
the late twentieth to the twenty-first centuries, reflect the
diversity of representations of science in contemporary fiction,
including psychopharmacology and neuropathology, quantum physics
and mathematics, biotechnology, genetics, and chemical weaponry.
This collection considers how texts engage with science and
technology to explore relations between bodies and minds, how such
connectivities shape conceptions and narrations of the human, and
how the speculative view of science fiction features alongside
realist engagements with the Victorian period and modernism.
Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach, contributors offer new
insights into narrative engagement with science and its place in
life today, in times past, and in times to come. Chapter 1 is
