This is the first book that studies 16 Arabic novels of speculative
fiction, introducing 11 of which that have not been translated in
English before. This is the first book in English that analyzes the
work of three women authors of speculative fiction novels. This
book pioneers the use of the term Arabic cyberpunk fiction, which
has normally been associated with Western literature. This book
covers authors from seven Arab countries, Algeria, Egypt, Jordan,
Kuwait, Mauritania, Syria, and Tunisia. Some countries included
here are usually under-represented in studies of Arabic literature
in English, such as Mauritania. This book is part of a larger
project by the author to formulate new poetics of literary theory
for Arabic fiction. He has published two books already in this
project (one by Routledge). In this book he uses a social and
psychological theoretical framework. This is the first book in
English focusing on Arabic speculative fiction and dystopian
fiction, not just science fiction, and predicts a new turn in the
Arabic novel. This book is one of the few studies in English to
refer to dissertations in Arabic academia among its references,
thus pointing out the rising interest in Arabic speculative fiction
in Arab countries.
