This collection of interdisciplinary essays examines some of the ways in which writers, artists, film-makers, strategists and political thinkers have imagined the future over the last two centuries. Although a number of contributions discuss 'mainstream' science fiction, the collection's emphasis is not on any single genre, but rather on the ways in which different histories - technological, cultural, military, ideological - generate and inform different modes of speculation about things to come. These histories also disclose that our patterns of expectation are much influenced by our relationship to the past.
Kim, one of Kipling's masterpieces, is the story of Kimball O'Hara,
the orphaned son of an officer in the Irish Regiment who spends his
childhood as a vagabond in Lahore. The book is a carefully
organized, powerful evocation of place and of a young man's quest
for identity.
