Science fiction--one of the most popular literary, cinematic and
television genres--has received increasing academic attention in
recent years. For philosophers, critical theorists and others it
opens up a space in which the here-and-now can be made strange or
remade; where virtual reality and cyborg are no longer gimmicks or
predictions, but new spaces and subjects.Lost in Space brings
together an international collection of authors to explore the
diverse spatialities and geographies of space. A diverse range of
themes are examined--from geographical and sociological
imaginations to nature, scale, geopolitics, modernity, time,
identity, the body, power relations and the representation of
space.Drawing on a range of theoretical approaches, the essays
explore the writings of a broad selection of SF writers and films,
including J. G. Ballard, Octavia Butler, Philip K. Dick, Frank
Herbert, William Gibson, Marge Piercy, Kim Stanley Robinson, Neal
Stephenson; the films include Aliens, Bladerunner, Dark City, The
Fly, The Invisible Man and Metropolis.Contributors: Stuart C.
