<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"An overview of how science fiction has grappled with the ways that science and technology shape and change human lives, emphasizing the challenges of the 21st century"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>How science fiction has been a tool for understanding and living through rapid technological change.</b> <p/>The world today seems to be slipping into a science fiction future. We have phones that speak to us, cars that drive themselves, and connected devices that communicate with each other in languages we don't understand. Depending the news of the day, we inhabit either a technological utopia or <i>Brave New World </i>nightmare. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge surveys the uses of science fiction. It focuses on what is at the core of all definitions of science fiction: a vision of the world made otherwise and what possibilities might flow from such otherness.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Sherryl Vint is Professor of Science Fiction Media Studies at University of California, Riverside. She is the author of <i>Bodies of Tomorrow</i>, <i>Animal Alterity</i>, and <i>Science Fiction: A Guide for the Perplexed</i>, coauthor of the <i>Routledge Concise History of Science Fiction</i>, and coeditor of <i>The Routledge Companion to Science Fiction</i> (2009).
