Science Fiction and the Prediction of the Future: Essays on Foresight and Fallacy

Science Fiction and the Prediction of the Future: Essays on Foresight and Fallacy By Gary Westfahl, Gary Westfahl, Wong Kin Yuen, Amy Kit-sze Chan, Donald E. Palumbo, C. W., III Sullivan

Science fiction has always challenged readers with depictions of the future. Can the genre actually provide glimpses of the world of tomorrow? This collection of fifteen international and interdisciplinary essays examines the genre's predictions and breaks new ground by considering the prophetic functions of science fiction films as well as SF literature. Among the texts and topics examined are classic stories by Murray Leinster, C. L. Moore, and Cordwainer Smith; 2001: A Space Odyssey and its sequels, Japanese anime and Hong Kong cinema; and electronic fiction.
