Sometimes called the "literature of ideas," science fiction is a
natural medium for normative political philosophy. Science
fiction's focus on technology, space and time travel, non-human
lifeforms, and parallel universes cannot help but invoke the
perennial questions of political life, including the nature of a
just social order and who should rule; freedom, free will, and
autonomy; and the advantages and disadvantages of progress. Rather
than offering a reading of a work inspired by a particular thinker
or tradition, each chapter presents a careful reading of a classic
or contemporary work in the genre (a novel, short story, film, or
television series) to illustrate and explore the themes and
concepts of political philosophy.
