Description
8vo, hardcover in dj xviii + 202pp., b/w plates, notes, index, 'This collection of interdisciplinary essays examines some of the ways in which writers, artists, film-makers, strategists & 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.
