- Summary:
- "Science Fiction in Context: Histories of the Future 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 generate and inform different modes of speculation.
