This book is a collection of new essays, with the general objective
of filling a gap in the literature about sex and science fiction.
Although some work has been published, none of it is recent. The
essays herein explore the myriad ways in which authors writing in
the genre, regardless of format (e.g., print, film, television,
etc.), envision very different beings expressing this most
fundamental of human behaviors. ""Science fiction"" can be
translated into ""real unreality."" More than a genre like fantasy,
which creates entirely new realms of possibility, science fiction
constructs its possibilities from what is real, from what is,
indeed, possible, or conceivably so. This collection, then, looks
to understand and explore the ""unreal reality,"" to note ways in
which our culture's continually changing and evolving mores of sex
and sexuality are reflected in, dissected by, and deconstructed
through the genre of science fiction.
