After the Meiji Restoration of 1868 Japan modernized rapidly,
transforming itself perhaps more quickly than any other country in
history. However, the change was not without its conflicts, many of
them still unresolved as the pleasures of modern society vie with a
respect for the traditional Japanese lifestyle. As the literature
of change and of the young, science fiction acts as a window to the
modern mind and the uneasy alliance of the old and new. This book,
filled with detailed reference to numerous stories, traces the
origin and development of the genre from the mid-nineteenth century
to today, thus exploring unique insights into Japanese attitudes to
commercialism, spirituality, the media, war and international
relations.
