9780295993058 / Histories of the Future: Studies in Fact, Fantasy and Science Fiction 2000th Edition
by Palgrave Macmillan; 2000th edition (November 10, 2000) (Author)
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.
