Science fiction and cultural theory

Considered an essential resource for students studying science fiction, science and popular culture, and contemporary theory. This book combines key theories that have become touchstones for work in the field with more recent thinking to showcase how theoretical paradigms central to science fiction such as posithumanism and mediation have become central to critical theory overall in the twenty-first century. Book is divided into four sections: Gender, technology and the body; The science-fictionalization of everyday life; Media, mediation, science fiction; Posthumanisms.
